Default Just completed my first mod...

Just completed installing the Vararam filter on my 2002 coupe. Can't wait to put some miles on her tomorrow. Also painted my underhood emblem this weekend. It looks great from a distance. I found instructions for everything I did here on the forum. Thanks to everyone and bless the folks in LA & MS who are in need of all the prayers we can give.

Great mod! I'd be surprised if you don't feel a genuine SOTP improvement in throttle response. I went with the Blackwing but if there's one thing the LS1 is starving for it's air. Give us an update after you get a chance to drive it.

... post pics of your hoodliner

Yes, all those displaced by Katrina have a long hard road ahead of them for which I don't envy. I've heard other countries are donating sizable amounts of $$$ for financial aid. About damn time the USA got a little pay back from our overseas neighbors.

Default Update

Just got back from my first drive with the new Vararam Intake. I thought I had a Permagrin before. I kept hearing how much of a difference it would make, but you have to feel it to believe it. I am very impressed. I unfortunately can't post pics here but I will upload them to my profile.
