Oops! I guess i shouldn't post after multiple rum and cokes. With a clear head I'm aware the air is pulled from the engine compartment. But I still say you'll be lucky to get a tenth. What the system does on a C5 is irellevant to what it will do for a C4. Apples and oranges.

I would be interested if there'll be group buy for vararam.

But I'd like to ask you if it would be possible for me to send money to
one of fellow forum members ( via bank account ) and that person
could send vararam to me by USPS.

Or could I order directly from them and still get discount as forum member?

Since when? Frank has done cut lid with K&N testss before, but I haven't ever seen him try a cold air setup. Plus he has an LT1 and from what it looks like the first vararam available will be for the L98.

Maybe he's talking about when he used the traffic cone as the "smooth" intake tube - wait, was that Mojo or Mackey?

I would think you could order direct from them and still get a group discount if there is a group buy setup for forum members.

I scoured their website but can't find anywhere where they mention a C4 Varam ram-air system in development...

Well then that isn't Frank doing testing which is what you made it sound like. With that said though I think nearly everyone who has an A/O engineering forced air kit has shown positive results. This would be the same principle.

I didn't mean to be misleading, but he posted it after witnessing it with his own eyes. I figured that would be good enough.
