With a very basic tune and less than 1500 miles it ran an 11.37 with nothing more than some DR's and fully burdened! The car RUNS beautifully!

Finally had time to play with this again... The deed is done...
It wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be after call once I got to looking at it closer. It took me longer to assemble the intake per Roto-Fab's instructions (which are super confusing), than it did to modify the intake to make it fit.
Was it worth it? I don't know... Probably not. It sits just like it would in an SS using the stock upper airbox stud (with a spacer provided from RF), and a bolt in the lower stud hole where the stud was for the stock airbox that was removed per instructions.
It doesn't look as good as I thought it would... Maybe because my car is white? Or I need some filler panels or something. IDK. I like doing things the hard way. Don't like it? Don't comment. It's that easy.
I still need to do a couple more things. Need to relocated my HID ballast because the airbox is in the way, and may look at piping some duct of some sort into the bottom of the rotofab to the front of the car. I have to pull the front fascia off anyway at some point to install a GXP trans cooler and lines, so I'll take a look at it then...
I'll post some better pictures in the light here soon.

IMO, you need to do an under hood cleaning and make everything as clean as the RF.
