I assume you are talking about an LS3 application? The Mamo/MSD for the LS7 is a big upgrade vs stock or the FAST manifold.

I had the radius rods added to the OEM intake by Gwatney Performance for $250 and the car pulls notably harder up top with this modification. It wasn't even a small difference.

Correct. The Vararam manifold was always for the LS3 application.

We also want to have product on the shelf to ship before we release pics, video, independent tests etc.. rather than tease our customers with something they cannot buy yet.

First post was May 2014. I would have been an early buyer, but apparently something didn't work well and I lost interest along with everyone else.

Absolutely true! Vararam should do the right thing put out statement that it's not a viable product or they don't have the resources to bring it to market or something other than stringing people along.

In the meantime, there is a lot of horse power to be made with the Mamofied MSD.
