VaraRam on. Traction gone.
You can absolutely feel the difference. 
I have an A4,273s in the rear. Golf clubs in back, wife in passenger seat, going downhill. Traction control ON.I rolled on the throttle and it started to go sideways. I believe tires will be the next mod.

New tires are not a mod, it's a life safty issue. You gotta love those Vararams! Make sure you have the vent screens in place or eles your throttle body will become a vacuum cleaner for anything and everything. Mod on!

Sucking plastic
Lot of good the air filter is going to do with a plastic garbage bag sucked up and laying against a perfectly clean air filter! Put screens in the front and do it right.

Ive been running the vararam for about 5 years. I had the Z06 screens on, then took them off 2 years ago. over the winter when I changed from the LS6 manifold to the FAST 90/90 set up, I inspected the TB for dirt and debre. I found nothing in the TB or manifold outside the norm.
Sure on the very outside chance I may get a walmart bag stuck in one of the intake tubes, but im certain the air filter will stop a plastic bag from entering the throttle body. I recently drove it from Virginia to Tampa on I-95 and didnt suck up anything but outside air.
I just didnt like the way the car looked with the screens on.

Frank, you need them. Check out the mesh screens thats available at CCA(Custom Corvette Assessories) You can click on to them to the left of our screen. They are a great co. to do bussiness with and the prices are fair. They have different styles of front race mesh grills. I was a lucky one, they came standard w/ the Z06. Good luck
