Default Vararam Install, noticable difference

Just a quick note, I just installed a Vararam, took about 1 1/2, no issues on the install.

On a few test drives, the car absolutely pulls harded, most noticeably from 5000+.

One of the best mods for the LS2. Never had any problems in 15000 miles I have had it on my car.

You would be better off with a converter, Some of the quickest cars on this forum have 2.56 with A6 transmissions. It will pick up more et that any other mod, a cam gets more hp but the converter picks up a least 6 tenths in the quater mile. I went from 1.90 60ft to 1.60 60ft with a 3200 converter. My stock ets were 12.8@110 and now I run 11.60@ 119. The tune and headers helped but the converter is the best bang for the buck on a A6.

FTI 3200 and I think I should have gone with a 3600, it drives like stock with the 3200. Here is the web site http://fticonverters.com/, not sure if I can post this on here so if not please remove the info.
