I'm running a West coast corvette Hurricane system and i love it. Its light weight (about 8 lbs lighter than stock shroud and box), functions as a semi-ram air, and doesn't suck up water. It also netted me 10whp and 8lbs of tq across most of my rpm band on a dynojet without any other mods or even a tune. Price is right too if you don't opt for the "carbon fiber" version lol.

I have a Vararam intake and a tune on my '04 Z. Car made 376whp. The only thing I don't like about the Vararam is it makes it hard to have a tow hook for when I do track days.

Vengeance Racing tuned my car. It is really something a pro with a dyno should do.

Agreed. My air/fuel was whack after I installed my intake and kept throwing my check engine light. I wouldn't trust a hand held to make those kind of corrections.
