I know Im beating the dead horse not even to death, but to a bloody pulp . I bought 01 A4 with a halltec intake on it, Im about to put some heads and cam into it, prob with gears . I am wondering if switching over to the vararam intake will give me any increases in 1/4 mile times . I use my car as a DD for right now, till I get married in 4 weeks, then getting a truck . I am running 12.2 with stock gears atm with just full exhaust and a 3200 Tc .

I’ll probably start some sort of controversy, but I think a Vararam intake will give you a little more power then the halltech, but at the same time, I don’t think it is worth it to pay about $300 plus the PIA install, for a few ponies. IMHO

Thanks,

Clayton from Las Vegas
