I switched from Z06 airbox to Blackwing and gained nearly nothing in 1/4 mile; IMHO the bigger air filters don't really do much by themselves, gotta get to some cooler air a' la Vararam or Honker or the like. If I hadda do it agin, I'd go Honker. Live and learn.

I have the Vararam and like it, I switch from a Blackwing. If you are thinking about a Honker, I would check out this thread. http://forums.corvetteforum.com/show...hlight=diy+cai Looked like a pretty good mod to me, and if I didn't already have the Vararam, I probably would have tried it.

I have a Vortex w/ the clear box and a wider air bridge... relatively low cost (bought the stuff used), looks great, and perfroms great.
I really love the looks and oem quality of the Honker, but I can't justify the money for no gain.

Depends on what you want to do with the car. If you want a name brand for people to drool over, go with the Honker. If you want one that produces proven results, go with the VaraRam. You won't see much gain on the dyno with either. You may see a little more out of the Honker on the dyno. At the track is a different story, the VaraRam will kill anything.
