Just installed Vararam
Just installed Vararam B-2. 
It really wasn't that difficult, I just had to take my time. Took about three hours once the front was on Rhino ramps. Everything lined up as it should. Soon as the weather improves I'll try it out. Next on the garage floor smiling up at me saying " install me, install me" are Z06 shocks and sway bars. By the way I removed a blackwing.

I did not get any actual track times with the Blackwing just G-Tech times. I read everything about the Vararam I could on the Forum and decided what the hell lets try Vararam. LAPD sold me mine.

I started my VARARAM install today. I got both horns installed and I need to wait on the rest. I purchased some GM Fog lights and I am installing them. The Z06 did not come with lights so I have to start from scratch!
I need to sit down tonight and figure out how I want to make the harness. Got the plugs for the light at Auto Zone
I have an appointment at J & M Corvettes in Manchester Ct to have the car Dyno Tuned on 31 March!
I will let you all know how it turns out.

Be sure to let us know how the car responds to the Vararam. Some day I may get one myself.

Just got the VARARAM in. It wasnt fun but, it wasnt all that difficult either! If they had some decient instructions, it would be a lot easier! 
While I had the front end apart, I figured it would be a good time to install my Fog Lights. Spent most of the morning doing that. It was suppose to pour down rain all day. Got everything to do with the VARARAM done before it rained!!
I have to order some special frame clips to mount the Fogs. The mounting of the fog lights will have to wait until I can get the clips from GM.
Cant wait to take her for a ride!!!
I want to get a before and after Dyno pull to see how much the PCM tune will get me! It should be very INTERESTING!
