Vortex Rammer
How do you like it? Can you notice a difference in power?
Thanks

Maybe it's just wishful thinking but, I thought I could feel a difference near the top of first gear after I installed mine.
:cheers:

Re: Vortex Rammer (Corvette ED)
It's especially noticeable when trying to pass. With the stock intake, the engine seemed to hesitate when the throttle was opened suddenly. With the Vortex you get the power immediately. :cheers:

Re: Vortex Rammer (Corvette ED)
The only thing I noticed was the sound. You can hear the sucking of air much more clearly. The dyno didn't notice anything either. I'm not realy happy I cut the stock shroud without any diff in HP. :confused:

I haven't dyno'd before and after, but I definitely felt a seat of the pants difference - no question about it. The sound was an added benefit!
