TIA

The Vararam should net you 25-35hp in racing conditions (only about 15 will show on the dyno), though they claim gains of up to 40 hp, the Cat-back and X-Pipe 5-7 maybe (mostly for sound which in itself is important

), and the tune +/- 10 (these all are estimates). On the dyno where the Vararam can't really do its thing, you'd probably pick up about 30hp total from these mods and the tune. In racing/driving conditions though you should get another 15+ out of the Vararam. Most importantly, the Vararam alone should shave .3 to .5 seconds off your average 1/4 times, regardless of the actual hp gain which nobody seems to agree on. The Vararam 1/4 results have been documented many times on this forum.
