Vararam Intake
Hey guys,
I just purchased a vararam intake for my auto 2000 C5 corvette along with a VINCI VHP TUNER. I also have a Tbryne MAF ends, larger air bridge, and smooth air bellow. I was wondering how i should tune my car now with the Vinci tuner. I heard Vararam leans out the car alot, along with the Tbryne MAF ends and air bridge, but i also hear that the computer fixes the air/fuel ratio accordingly and its the knock that robs the horsepower. Can i fix this problem with the Vinci tuner by adding fuel or timing?
PLEASE HELP ME BECAUSE I AM LOST!!!! Any information will do me good. I just need to know exactly what to do with my Vinci according to the mods i have.
Thanks Alot guys

Clay,
I also bought the Vararam and will be installing it shortly, I have not heard that people have had to tune the car as a result of the Vararam. A tune will definitely help performance but not sure it is a requirement re: to avoid lean knock? Definitely interested in hearing from others on this.

I don't have the rest of your mods, but when I installed my B2, I followed the instructions and took the Vette out for a 30 minute run at >50 mph. The PCM relearned the correct AFR and as long as I keep my foot out of it, my mpg went up.

I would not tune after simply installing a Vararam. The computer will relearn and compensate just fine. A dyno tune with LS1 edit is recommended after LT headers, catback exhaust and CAI (like the Vararam)

I agree, enjoy the Vararam.
