I have plans on buying a vararam for my 02 C5. I won't be able to get a tigershark front bumper for at least 6 or 7 months, so it's not a major rush, but I was curious,
If I get that front end, won't I need a new vararam? Will the C6 style vararams work with this combo??
Also,
Has anyone had the opportunity to install a Vararam on a stock C5 and run it on the dyno? I'm mostly stock and curious what gains I'll get to the RW's.

I don't think you would see the 'full effect' of the Vararam on the dyno, simply because the car isn't moving and 'pushing' air into the system.
The real test is at the dragstrip.
I went from a bone stock 14 flat to a 13.4 with a Vararam and a Hypertech 'tune.' (The Hypertech made a single 10th's difference from stock... the rest was all Vararam.)
So my best 'guesstimate' was about 20-30 hp difference, all things being equal.
