Re: vararam performance gain (quick99ls1)
Not sure why you have heard bad things about the Vararam. I have the VR-1B and noticed a real SOTP difference. I think it is great! I read many posts that say the same thing and I think you will find that the Vararam is really popular.
Of course, so are many of the other intakes sold. Jim Hall's system is very highly thought of and I've heard good things about the Blackwing and others as well.
There are many posts on this topic on the forum. Take some time to read them and buy what you feel comfortable with.
Good luck :seeya

Hadi,
A VaraRam VR-1B will not show much if any horsepower improvement on a typical chassis dynamometer. This is because the VaraRam system is designed to use the pressurized air on the front of the vehicle at speeds in excess of 50 mph to pressurize the system.
I too have noted a performance improvement with the VR-1B in my Z06. I notice it most significantly from 60 mph + when a I do a fourth gear WOT acceleration.
Good Luck with your decision.

I definately think you would gain however the filtering of the vararam has me me holding off on it for now. :chevy
Same here. I have contacted Green filters to see what they can do.

Re: vararam performance gain (jambrin)
You can use K&N 33-2522 filter. At least I hope you can because I ordered one and it will be here soon!
