More dissapointed customers??? http://forums.corvetteforum.com/zerothread?id=447460
Money back garauntee, but still out $100???

Yep, there are customers who don't feel satisfied with their purchase on Halltech stuff, on Tpis headers, etc and even Baer Eradispeeds... I beleive the gentleman you put up there and commented on to make things interesting around here wanted overnight shipping on it to begin with which was about 100 bucks via UPS. He also had an aftermarket radiator that would not allow fit of the product which was not known up front. MattG has the same radiator and can't use one either.

I thought I would jump in on the thread, VARARAM gave me 2/10's and over 2 mph by the 1/8th over my Blackwing. It works very well!!
Great numbers.:)

wow! these intake threads spark some of the most heated discussions! national security caliber type interest! :lol:

well, all I know, prior to adding my vararam, I had made 1 11 second (11.94) pass out of many tries. I was using an open box with a tie wrapped k&n filter. Best 1/4 trap was 116.8 and best 1/8 trap was 93.80

Since adding the vararam, here are my last 10 passes:

12.01
12.00
11.98
11.95
11.94
11.92
11.88
11.85
11.84
11.82
11.74

Best 1/4 mph 118.85
Best 1/8 mph 95.50

Now, was the vararam that contributed to this? Was it my "useless" S2 throttle body? Who knows. Quite frankly, I really don't care. All I know is my car is faster.

And I could care less about brand loyalty. If you think the bottom breather intakes (regardless of make) don't add performance value to the car, then you really haven't drag raced much. They work and do lower your times. Case closed. :sleep:
