I just bought an Z06 intake off ebay for $35, right about now I think that is the best one. I will cut a big f'n hole in my rad support and add an aftermarket filter. It doesn't get any better than that. 
The only turbulence I expect is the Flak I am about to get from this post I am currently writing.

The worst part about the LS2 is the intake, IMO. I would save for a FAST 102 and maybe some headers. Those are my two favorite mods on my 07. If you are drag racing, I hear the http://www.vararam.com/sc1.html is very good.

Hands down the Vararam is the fastest, its on all the fastest c6s in the top spots bolt/ons, heads & cam, and on 90 % of the top 20 , you will get opinions from many that there homemade is best or putting a z06 stock filter is best or any cai is best or even how it works with there own scientific theory on how it doesn't work, or even the common sense angle on how it does work, all those claiming to know don't race
but they know what makes a car go fast
at least that's there claim thank GOD i didn't listen to any of the closet racers and dyno racers, I chose Vararam and my car has held the top bolt/on spot for many years, also the cam only, and .006 from the heads and cam, now how could all these top times be wrong. thats scientific documented proof not just

I've owned over six intake brands on previous Corvettes and the fit and finish of the vararam in my opinion is garbage. I was not a fan of that foam filter they supplied on my C5 kit and I switched to the Halltech intake both on my C5 and C6 and hands down the Halltech is the quality intake on the market.

Perhaps you should see a doc about those voices... Just saying.
On a side note... it does look monstrous under the hood and I like the fact that its making use of all the available space. And I agree that the plastic should not make a difference unless its weak and flimsy, I have never installed one so I cant speak for the quality but the size and shape shown in the picture above appears to be a decent intake.

The funny thing is Dennis... your the only one I have ever heard who suggested the Vararam does not work. Even in the last tread you attacked everyone in; nobody suggested the Vararam did not work except you...You need to get control of those voices in your head.

now you can tell me your car will never see the 1/4 mile that doesnt mater, you are already trying to make it faster by changing or some homemade system to go faster, the 1/4 results that vararam claims are proven so you dont need to take it to the track you will feel it, I let Larry Wood driver of the 10.5 outlaw ZR1 take mine for a ride, he came back and said thats a high 9 second car NA, I said yes it is with you driving, you weigh 150 i weigh 293 and went 10.16 so he was right, if he can tell that seat of the pants then you can tell with the gains from vararam, But please answer my question for the 5th time has anyone have the answer, you can still have forced air with out boost,

Listen!!! I never said the Vararam didn't work in any thread, I told you and anyone else it is the best, its the best CAI. you thought you told me how it worked, but you dont have one how the hell could you, I have had probably one of the first vararams for the c6, I attribute my super fast ets and mph to vararam, the fastest c6s all have vararam. now i will ask you this question another time, if vararam doesn't have any forcing of air, hence a ram air effect, this is the simple part, with the stock air intake the iat's will reach ambient in about 100 ft at speed, so no difference would be seen in getting cold air to the engine after 100 ft because the iat's prove that they are the same, so how the hell does someone gain 5/10 and 5 mph in just 100 ft, the vararam doesn't show no gain on the dyno, but it does in the 1/4 so it must do more then just cold air, force cold air at speed, the whole time your accelerating and more the faster you go. is that really so hard to understand. I have the Vararam, you can see it on my car its been on since December 2005 it fits perfect never hydroloc, driven in snow and heavy rain super storm sandy hitting deep puddles, less then $400 same green race filter, Installed by me before all the others without cutting there ac condenser. I really dont care how you think it works, I know it works and if you dont have one you have no chance of ever beating me NA or bolt/on now you can tell me your car will never see the 1/4 mile that doesnt mater, you are already trying to make it faster by changing or some homemade system to go faster, the 1/4 results that vararam claims are proven so you dont need to take it to the track you will feel it, I let Larry Wood driver of the 10.5 outlaw ZR1 take mine for a ride, he came back and said thats a high 9 second car NA, I said yes it is with you driving, you weigh 150 i weigh 293 and went 10.16 so he was right, if he can tell that seat of the pants then you can tell with the gains from vararam, But please answer my question for the 5th time has anyone have the answer, you can still have forced air with out boost,

Here it goes Dennis... The answer to your question AGAIN!!!
More un restrictive, Non turbulent, cool air. (With a big credit to the "NON TURBULENT"
That is why you saw the gains you are seeing!
I honestly feel your giving way to much credit to the placement of the air scoop when you should be giving it to the actual intake design!
I have been trying to suggest to you that the design of the VR may be the reason so many people are seeing such great gains. I believe the placement of the scoop is just one small part of it.
And again, I know your going to keep asking the question so here is the answer AGAIN!

Honestly Dennis, your the worst possible representative for the Vararam intake could possibly have...your trash talking scares anyone who may be on the fence for one away... They really should do some damage control where ever you post about their intake.

I think he means well, he's just a bit abrasive with his replies... Also, posting on forums is so impersonal it's easy to misunderstand emotion and meaning. I'm simply discussing the topic... I assume he is as well.
