Default Vararam on a Z06

Anybody have one of these on your Z06. Notice any improvement. Hard to install. Worth the money. Thanks

Check the Z06 forum. There are folks talking about that very thing and liking the performance gains.

I have heard .5 second gain and 2-3mpg gains on the track. You won't dyno enough to think it would help that much because the car gains in performance as the vehicle increases in speed.

A friend of mine, fellow forum member ZEEEEOOOOSIC, just installed a Vararam on his 2003 Z06. He was thrilled with it. PM him for comments, if you like...

2004 Z06 here and I love mine. The car is def. getting a lot more air coming in because Im getting lean codes after a highway drive indicating I need to add more fuel in the tune. If you have a Z06, you most likely wont be needing any of the washers/spacers that the kit comes with resulting in an easier install. If you have any other Qs, shoot.
