New Intake???
I one more question bout this kit. in its description, it claims it can add up to 40 hp and cut my 1/4 by .3 or 1/2 a second. i was wondering what numbers are more realistic and if you have it, what has yours produced?

Vararam VR2B
The Vararam VR2B is one of the most popular cold air intakes for Vettes. Of all of the intakes, it produces the most power. In the 1/4 mile, you will see a .3 decrease in ET. The only downside is that it is a true PITA to install. It will take at least 3 hours to install one for the first time.

You want the HP gain, and safety in the long run, and easy installation, then try the Donaldson's Blackwing. One of the most popular intakes, and used on race version Vettes & also on the new C6. There's a good reason for that....

Can not talk about any of the other intakes but I do know the vararam works.
