I also have the Vararam VR1B. I like it alot, I am guessing a little because I did not do 1 mod at a time but I think the Vararam gave me about 3 tenths in the qtr. I think that is what they advertise also. The only problem I could think they may be talking about with the air bridge is the two fasteners did not line up well on the air bridge. My kept coming unfastened, I now have an aftermarket high flow with the pretty flags and it does not have fasteners so that problem is solved. There is one thing I would like to know if anyone has the part number for the K&N filter that fits the vararam. K&N had no idea but I know there is one that fits perfect. Has anyone else replaced their vararam filter with a K&N. I have the hp+ and it really is a little flimsy, I would like a good K&N and I will be satisfied.

Hi, there is no stock name on it but here is the link. http://ls1performanceparts.com/ The service is a little slow at this place but I am in general happy with the service. The prices seem to be very reasonable, and the tech guy is the owner which is always nice. I had to come up with a special glueing technique for the flags because of the curve of the air bridge. If you buy it let me know and I will tell you how I did the flag glue on, they look like they are welded on now.
