Default Vara Ram VR-1B mod

anyone out there installed this on their C5? It uses the foglamp recesses for the air intakes and has measured gains of 11.9 RWH and also .46 improvement in 0-60, according to Vette magazine article. Also would an upgraded mass air flow sensor help in addition to this?

Oh, maybe about two hundred of them

Most of them are still bleeding from the knuckles (not an easy install) but most also say they'd do it again. Big improvement in throttle response and pretty big improvement inperformance.
