Vortex Rammer on an LT1?
It's the intake system from Breathless Performance Products (BPP). I had it on my '02 and it seemed to help the bottom end. I was wondering if anyone had put one on an LT1 yet and what their impression of it was.

I've had one on my '93 for about 6 months now and I like it. It makes that giant sucking sound but I doubt it does much more than a K&N until you get to higher speeds. A lot of people complain about the box warping or cracking. I'm anxious to see how mine hold up during the hot Arizona summer (110* by Sunday). Is it worth the money? Probably not.

Well I can tell you firsthand that the Vortex Rammer is a piece of JUNK. The plastic is so thin that it warps from heat and then will eventually crack and break. I don't recommend buying it. Not sure if I actually got any performance gain over the K&N and cut lid or not but I wouldn't make the purchase again.

We did a test on one a few years back. The noticable gain was at the upper end. From 0-1/8th mile there was no gain, but from the 1/8th to the 1/4 there was a gain of 1 tenth.
