Congrats Wayne!

Hi Lori!

Hey bhai!

Hi Randy!

Wayne-- I'm not positive but, do you have to reprogram with a intake change? When I got my Blackwing, I was advised to drive the car a couple of hundered miles and it would relearn the new airflow pattern.

Just a thought, I wasn't sure if VR affected the car the same as BW... no need to throw $$ away on a reprogram.

I'm going for a ride on the bike.. hope you guys are here when I get back.

Hi Dave

That's why I need to go on a loooooonnnnnngggggg drive tomorrow so the computer can re-adjust for the additional air coming in.....

Does this classify as a tag? If so Tag.... (More to come....)

I've heard that the install can be a real PIA due to poor fit. Yours looks great! Were the instructions well written and would you consider it an easy install? Would a second pair of hands help?
TIA

Hi Dave. I used Jason's (CajunDude) instructions to install. They were right on. here's a link to them, http://www.cajundude.com/vararam.htm

As far as another pair of hands if was not that bad to install by myself. Just took my time and one step at a time.
