Default vararam + s/c

I'm going to get a vararam pretty soon.I also plan to S/C the vette down the road when cashflow allows.Is the vararam useable with a S/C or not?Thanks.

I wouldn't think so, as most s/c's relocate the air inlets. I had the procharger and any cai I had was long gone. Maybe someone else here knows for sure.

No, with most supercharger systems (centrifugal (ie: Procharger etc.)) you can't use the Vararam (or similar) type of cold air kits.
Might be able to with a Magnuson though possibly.

You should be able to use it with a Maggie. I had a Donaldson Blackwing with mine.

My car is at 21st Century Muscle Cars having the LPE Maggie setup installed. I was told by Lingenfelter that the Vararam will not work with the Maggie. I also talked to a installer that has tried it and he also said they would not mate up. My suggestion is to hold off on the CAI or go with the Callaway or Lingenfelter CAI so it will work with the Maggie if you go that route.
