Default Does the VARARAM really work???

Lets see...

Vortex for 3 yrs, best ET was 12.02 @ 112 mph

Vararam, 3/13/04 NEW best ET 11.91 @ 114.66

VARARAM 3/23/04 NEW BEST ET 11.84 @ 116.07 :yesnod: :smash:

I'd say this thing REALLY WORKS!!!!
Doubters can talk all you want, I KNOW for a fact that if you use the VARARAM, you WILL GO FASTER !!! :chevy :steering:

Nice run. I've noticed that the people who doubt the system do not race their cars at the track. They just bang away at a keyboard.

Some people look really smart when they are sitting at a computer. Other people look really smart at the track.

Chris, How much does it weigh? He's carrying around 90lbs of weights to keep him at 12.0 and it's not working, as you can see. :D

Sweet!
What mods did you do from 3/13/04 to 3/23/04?
You gained almost as much there than going from Vortex to Vararam!

Yo-What mods on your car besides the Vara? Finally got a decent set of skins to go with the Vara and some other goodies and would like to get an idea where I'll stand. Thanks :steering:

Nothing done since last November when Vararam was added..

Mods are bolt-ons. TPIS headers, Yank 3000, GHL exhaust, VARARAM.

3:42's, TPIS headers, Random Cats, Yank 3000 & GHL exhaust & LS6 intake manifold are the mods.
Oh yea, SLP 1.85 rockers,, but I don't count those as anything except a waste of money...
