so far so good.

no dyno run, yet, so i am unable to provide any before any after numbers.

the go pedal does feel to have more 'resistance'.

below 2k it feels about the same above 2500 it feels stronger. the higher you go in the rpm range the stronger it feels.

the pre-cut shroud fits pretty good, just take your time and position it properly, over the tabs, etc. the lower 'scoop' piece is the most difficult part of the install. imo, the screws that hold the lower piece to the 'bracket' are just about impossible to tighten. it would be much easier if they used bolts, with heads instead of a screw that is impossible to put a driver on. otherwise, a pretty good design and the 'bracket' is a nice touch. one other item about the lower 'scoop', there is an air diffusor in the lower scoop. why ? i removed the diffusor from the lower scoop, just because i wanted as much airflow as possible.

the top section is much thicker and stronger than the bottom piece. all-in-all, i seem to be satisfied with the product, it does seem to have given the car a bit more gowl when i get into it.

My tuner called me today and said he would re-install the parts for free. So far so good.

Yes, service was good. I was probably the first one to post pictures of the "bad" Vararam and eventually was reimbursed for the unit by Rick Anthony.

BTW, my new Honker was what I expected for a Corvette aftermarket product. Excellent fit and finish!
