poll: vararam vs. honker vs. stock
let me know what you think. its a daily driver and its a florida car so it does see rain. are the performance advantages worth it to go with an intake? i like the honker and vararam from what i have seen but read some good stuff about the drop in filters in the stock box.

Vararam is the best no doubt, but for a Daily Driver it might not be.
I had ordered a Vararam and cancelled it as my car is a daily driver and sees rain.
My vote will be stay stock, but I am still considering a K&N aircharger intake.

I've put about 2,100 miles on my Vararam in the last three weeks. It's my daily driver and I've already been caught in the rain a couple of times. No problems with hydro-lock and I did notice a seat of the pants difference in power above 3,500 rpm. It definitely pulls harder especially from highway speeds.
I did search all over the net trying to find someone that had hydro-locked their engine using one of these before I bought mine. I only found one person that hydro-locked their car and they submersed the entire nose of the car, water over the hood, before it hydro-locked. In that case, it would of probably hydro-locked with the stock set-up. I've been caught once already on the highway in a downpour and had no problems at all. IMO, I think that as long as you're not using your Vette as a submarine you should be fine.
