Default VaraRam Test Results

The car is a 1999 STOCK C5 A4 3:15 rear. STOCK means as it came from the factory. The car just turned 20K miles. The VaraRam with the K&N filter has been the only mod applied to the car.


Here are my results from Saturday. Car was driven about 150 miles after the unit was installed with about 75 miles on highways at 50 to 75 MPH before this test session. Traction was marginal and I experienced much more wheel spin than with the stock set up, a little extra low end torque from the improved intake was obvious.

The numbers speak for themselves. The car picked up 4 tenths and 5.5 MPH

Stock
Best Run 13.302 104.89 Temp 55F -400 ft Altitude E-Town

Best Run Conditions Similar to Today
13.489 103.51 Temp 72F +200 ft Altitude E-Town

Takes about 3 hours. Air dams, shroud, fog lights, intake have to be removed and reinstalled. Not hard just time consuming.
