I currently have a blackwing filter. Would switching to a Callaway honker, Vortex Rammer, or Vararam get me down the road faster. Has anyone made the switch?

There are number here that recommend the Callaway and those that recommend the VaraRam.
The VaraRam owners appear to be more willing to post their E.T. and trap speed improvements.

I'm not sure there's a meaningful difference between the true cold air systems and maybe not even between the Blackwing and the units you listed. A few gallons less in the tank or skipping that Big Mac will probably have the same effect.

Just my $.02

I've had the Vararam unit on my car for around six years now. I like it alot. If I were looking for a cia at the present time I'd go with the Callaway Honker. I'm sure the vararam helps in the 11 sec 1/4mi runs.

Callaway Honker, hands down!

If there were something better, we would have used it on our cars
