If someone wants to know the procedure, Iam sure someone has it on their website. We just need them to provide the link or copy and paste it.

I installed the vararam in Feb. Had a lot of tuning done after header install but before vararam. Had 3.42 gears installed after vararam and car was tuned for the gears, not sure if any further engine tuning was done. Vararam says PCM adjusts after several miles, not clear if this is true for all combinations. Anyhow, the thing seems to work, car is pretty damn quick. I've run a 12.62 quarter at 113 mph with 60' way over 2.0 seconds. If I could launch I would easily bust 12.5 or lower. The stuff I've installed based on forum info works.

By the way, I used Cajundudes instructions for installation at: These are much better than the instructions that came with the vararam.

I agree. Throw out the Vararam install and use Cajundude's. While your at it, you should also buy it from him, he'll price match most anything. That's the least you could do for a longtime forum member (and later supporting sponser) who provides valuable instructions for those looking to install.
