A & A did side by side on dyno with no difference between them. Ram air at speeds we realize is questionable if anything it will screw up fuel trims and then what do you do with tail wind

VARARAM! all the way! I have tested them side by side...NO dyno results because a VARARAM! was never intended to run on the dyno...but, From an airflow standpoint (tracked by my tuning software) You CAN NOT do better......
I'm not saying this just because I sell it....THAT'S WHY I SELL IT!
Nothing BETTER!

After spending $250 on a Halltech Stinger and only gaining 5 HP in before/after dyno sessions.
I think we are discovering that the LS2 OEM air filter assembly is pretty efficient.
I do like the Stinger and 5 HP is 5 HP and every bit helps. But unlike the LS1/6 I don't think LS2/7 owners aren't seeing 15 or more HP gains.

and more to the point Andy dyno'ed the car with NO AIR FILTER and saw no HP gain. The stocker is efficient and you can only hope for colder air so the dayum computer doesnt pull timing due to a heat soaked intake air temperature sensor and possibly for forced air at high speeds. I disagree with fuel trims being thrown off since the MAF measures the increased air for exaclty this reason.Vararam does make mighty claims about power and track results but I would reserve judgement on independant owners taking their cars to the track as many do, and confirming this. There are many guys that are in the know and track their cars regularly.
