I have been dailying my c5 base, with vararam, for a solid year now. Several months have been through Central Florida's monsoon season. No hiccups so far. I need to take a look at the filter and MAF and see how its holding up though.

You should be fine - just don’t drive through standing water on the road.

I've had one on my 04 since 2011 (daily driver) with no issues and it rains here half the year. As stated above standing water would be your only issue.

Airflow into and upward is dependent on throttle and RPM. Drive easy in rain and its unlikely for water to flow that high.
