7 hp is the lowest increase I've ever heard of.
Are you triggering DTC's, trouble codes? Could something else be happening? Loose clamp? Any other parts added at the same time? I'm really guessing here.
Would it be too much to ask if you could e-mail dyno sheets to me (mvendetto@callawaycars.com)?

The Vararam works the best, but don't expect this kind of increase.
Also, look for ET results only, not HP, the dyno lies.
