Happy with Vararam!
Installed my vararam today on my stock A4 vert. My fastest time before the install was 13.86 at 104. Tonight I ran 13.36 at 109. Very happy with the results! Just wanted you all to know.

Installed mine yesterday, happy with the fit and finish as I have heard of a few problems. Had a lift and the help of a tech or I'd been up the creek. Go to the track tuesday and will post my gains. Thanks to Rick,@ RickAnthonyMotorsports for the good price and fast shipping.

I did close but not quite as much improvement. I averaged 3 mph and .3 improvement on trap and ET.
I am curious are you an A4 or M6?
Oops re-read your post I see you are an A4. I think auto's gain more than the manual.

What gears do you have, I assume the 2.73 based on your times?
