Default HallTech vs. VaraRam question.......................

I know that there are ALOT of opinions on this topic, but I never found a definitive answer (or maybe I missed it). I did a search on the VaraRam set-up, and found that most people who bought it, liked it. I have a HallTech TRIC, and a T1 set-up, and like them, but I was looking at some of the numbers that guys had gotten with the VR, and they're pretty impressive. My question is: If you just drive your car (take it to the track, maybe once a year), would it be worth selling the HAllTech stuff, and buying a VR, or just stay with what I have? I'd appreciate your opinions. Thanks

If you only take your car to the track once a year, then I wouldn't bother. The install is a bit more involved than a normal intake, and you'd be gaining .1-.2 seconds at the most. Yes, every HP and tenth counts but you wouldn't see the gains since driving technique would be a big issue only going once a year.

If you raced once every month or two (or more frequently than that), then I would say go for it.
