Search could be your friend on this question, you'll get as many answers as there are Corvettes. Me? I like Blackwing.

Vararam intakes always seem to really shine at the track.

This is a pet peave with me. The intake on a car is the intake manifold. What you are asking about is the intake air filter.

People interpret it differently. I agree that "intake" should refer to the intake manifold but I consider the stuff forward of the TB to be a cold-air intake. I ran a Halltech Venom the past year but will be buying the vararam in the next week or two.
