Roto-Fab - Big Gulp Cold Air Intake
Part Number: 1016-1074
Feed Your Supercharger What It Really Wants, More Air.
Bigger Airflow Starts Before the Supercharger
As you know, engine is simply an air pump. The easier air can reach the supercharger, the less work the supercharger has to do to produce the airflow your engine demands. Unfortunately, as horsepower increases, the factory intake system eventually becomes another restriction in the airflow path.
While Chevrolet engineered the OEM intake to provide excellent filtration, quiet operation, and reliable performance on a stock Camaro ZL1, it was never intended to support the airflow demands of modified LT4 combinations producing substantially more boost.
That's where the Roto-Fab Big Gulp Cold Air Intake comes in.
Designed specifically for high-performance LT4 applications, the Big Gulp dramatically increases inlet airflow capacity by utilizing a massive oversized intake tube, high-flow air filter, and carefully engineered airbox that delivers cooler, less restrictive airflow directly to the supercharger.
The result is an intake system capable of supporting some of the highest horsepower Gen V LT builds while maintaining exceptional fit, finish, and drivability.
Why Airflow Restriction Matters
One of the biggest misconceptions surrounding supercharged engines is that more boost automatically means more airflow. It doesn't.
Boost is simply a measurement of resistance within the intake system. If the supercharger has to work harder to pull air through a restrictive intake, it consumes additional horsepower, generates more heat, and becomes less efficient.
Reducing restriction before the supercharger allows it to move more air with less effort, improving overall system efficiency while helping maintain more consistent performance. For high-boost combinations, airflow is every bit as important as boost pressure.
Designed for Serious LT4 Performance
Unlike traditional cold air intakes designed primarily for appearance or sound, the Big Gulp was engineered specifically for high-airflow applications.
Its oversized inlet tract provides substantially more cross-sectional area than the factory intake, reducing restriction while supporting increased airflow demanded by:
Kong Ported 1.7L Superchargers
Larger Magnuson 2650 or Whipple 3.0L
Road course & Drag Race applications
Whether you're running a mildly modified Camaro ZL1 or chasing four-digit horsepower, the Big Gulp provides the airflow capacity needed to support your next round of upgrades.
OEM Intake vs. Roto-Fab Big Gulp
The factory LT4 intake is an impressive piece of engineering and performs exceptionally well on stock or lightly modified vehicles. However, as airflow demand increases through additional boost, larger superchargers, cylinder head improvements, and higher engine speeds, every restriction in the intake tract becomes more significant.
The Roto-Fab Big Gulp addresses these limitations with:
Larger 5” inlet diameter
Increased airflow capacity
High-flow reusable air filter
Smooth internal airflow path
Precision-molded intake tube
Excellent OEM-like fit and finish
The result is an intake designed to support significantly higher airflow while preserving the drivability enthusiasts expect from a premium intake system.
Engineered to Grow With Your Build
One of the biggest advantages of the Big Gulp is that it's not simply a modification for today's horsepower level, it's an upgrade that continues supporting your engine as your build evolves.
Whether your future plans include: KONG Ported supercharger with a Katech 103mm throttle body, Large Whipple or Magnuson Superchargers, Head & Cam Upgrades or more cubic inches… the Big Gulp already has the airflow capacity to support those future modifications.
Griffin Motorsports Insight
One of the biggest mistakes enthusiasts make is viewing an intake as an isolated upgrade. In reality, your intake, throttle body, supercharger, cylinder heads, camshaft, and exhaust all work together as one continuous airflow system. Improving only one restriction helps, but removing multiple restrictions throughout the system allows every component to operate more efficiently. That's why the Roto-Fab Big Gulp pairs exceptionally well with larger throttle bodies, KONG ported superchargers, and other airflow-focused upgrades.

Why Buy From Griffin Motorsports?
At Griffin Motorsports, we only recommend products that complement a balanced performance combination.
Airflow has been one of the central themes throughout our testing because every horsepower increase begins with moving more air through the engine as efficiently as possible. The Roto-Fab Big Gulp is one of the most proven intake systems available for the Gen V LT platform, making it an excellent foundation for everything from mild bolt-on builds to serious high-horsepower supercharged combinations.
Whether you're upgrading your first Camaro ZL1 or building your dream LT4, we'll help ensure every airflow component works together as part of a complete system, not just as individual parts.
Throttle Body Coupler Options
BIG GULP to OEM or Katech Ported 95mm TB = Optional #1014-3049 for $34.95
BIG GULP to Katech 103mm TB = Included in kit
BIG GULP to Katech 112mm TB = Optional #10132059 for $69.95
Final Considerations…
Rotofab Products are not able to be shipped to any California address, so please don’t ask. Spoiler Alert, the answer will be no. Sorry, we don’t make the rules.
If you need help lining up a qualified local tuner, or are interested in remote tuning, send us an email to discuss at gms.socal.solutions@gmail.com
Because the BIG GULP Does require a tune, we always suggest you pair this modification with as many other “tune worthy” mods as possible, in order to get the most BANG FOR YOUR TUNING BUCK. Examples of common upgrades done at the same time.
