I think that gain was based on a truck that had a really rich mixture on the first dyno run, then was leaned way out on the run with velocity stack installed. Not a fair comparison imho. I had one and did not feel any SOTP improvement. A friend has one and he feels a crisper throttle response with it. Your results may vary. :thumbs:

hmmmmmmI don't know about that :confused:

Had something similar in the C4 was supposed to smooth out the flow :rolleyes: I bought it, but could never notice anything different.

I think I'll wait and see before I comment :grouphug:

I can't say I felt a SOTP difference, but I did see a difference at the track, approximately 2 tenths. The race filter went in thereafter and got me into the 11's.

I have a very similar set of mods, and you say you did indeed see a difference :cool: And can I ask what is your "race Filter", is that different than what came with my vararam???
Thanks S.Tx

Same product I posted only this time midamreica is making the same claim
most people who read the info think it's snake oil

Has anyone on the forum used this product and what are your thoughts on this product? http://www.madvet.com/shop?frame=2.12.4839

Gonzo, the "race filter" I mentioned is a different filter offered through Vararam, for more top end charge. It's in their website and I bought it direct from them. I figured it was just hype too, but they aren't that expensive so I figured I wouldn't lose much, but it seems to be working.

I may get the race filter once all the pollen is out of the air down here, my car is now green. :yesnod:

As for the Velocity stack I can't see it hurting anything and for 29.99......someone please stop me I have an addiction :D
