Default VaraRam air induction system

I was just at the Chevy dealer and one of the salesmen gave me a flyer on VaraRam Industries bolt on ram air system. I think this was advertised in Corvette Quarterly. The web site is:
http://www.vararam.com

They state that it "adds up to 40+ BHP"

Anybody have any experience?

Do a search on "vararam" right here on CorvetteForum. There's been discussion, ad nauseum, of this very system as recently as the last few days. You'll find all the info you could possibly want to read through.

GoodLuck,

Thanks. I should have "searched" first.

I've read most of the threads. I'm somewhat surprised at the lack of data, including the vendor (VaraRam). Specifically, it would be interesting to know the amount of air flow through the system to the MAF at various speeds. They must have done this. Trying to differentiate what is "potential air flow" and what is useful air flow to the combustion chambers are two different things.

With all the physics majors on the forum, it'd be good to hear their response.

Some of us could care less about flow numbers, or dyno numbers for that matter. I was only concerned if it would let me run a 12.0 in 12.0 index street class. It does as long as I hit the brakes hard enough :lol: Ric
