Default Vararam intake works!!!

Wife went to the Sher concert so I was free for the night (rare) :lol:
So I decided to port and polish the throttle body. After all that, I took the car out for gas and some cruising. 2 Races (I won) and 1 flyby shut down later I went home. Popped the hood to make sure everything is still plugged in tight and bolted on. I touched the air bridge and I was surpised to find it ice cold to the touch :eek: The engine is very hot (198 oil temp) and you can feel the heat. But the air bridge is icy cold. Cool, love it when engine gets icy cold air.

I have seen some 50 years old much finer than a lot of 20 and 30 years olds.

:iagree: I'm with Al! RG, or others; how does the Vararam cope with the "hydro-lock" concerns everyone has with bottom breathers and exposed intakes? :confused:

It has water drainage holes in the scoops where it meets the fog light shrouds.
