You really need a street tune to take into account the extra air being forced into the motor.

yes. I don't have a lot of experience with c5's. But I do know that ram air systems will not show that much gain on a dyno. They will show their gains after the car is moving down the road with air flowing. That is why I saw the sotp gains as the car got moving.

Even though I fealt an improvement, it's still not an accurate assessment. That is why the car will go back to the track, and I will compare 60ft's, the DA, ET, and most important, MPH and determine how much it helped.

Yes, will do. But a simple search of the topic can answer a lot more of your questions/concerns.

I had the Vararam on my C5Z along with other bolt-ons and it performed exceptionally well. I believe that it does provide a good base for other mods. You cannot go wrong with their product.
