Get em while they are hot. If you believe this price will stay this low forever while other intakes with similiar performance cost $550-650 then you have all the time in the world. If not get with me to get your Vararam NOW.

Questions please...
What's the difference between this one and all the rest of the aftermarket air intakes that all draw air from the fender like the stock air intake, other than their own air filters?
What makes this one a TRUE cold air vs all the rest of them?

The other units do not draw enough cool air from the fender to cool down the intake air charge completely! They stay higher than true ambient temp. Look inside your fender, there is only a small hole leading to OUTSIDE air. The rest comes from under the hood back by the sump tank! HOT AIR
The next difference is that the VR unit is the only unit that force feeds the intake manifold enough to add flow beyond what the cylinder head /manifold and throttle body can flow on their own from vacuum. This show up in a cylinder head/ intake manifold flow test on a flow bench.
We will be posting the flow test video and test numbers up soon on our site and on Facebook etc...
The other systems are below the stock head/manifold and throttle body's flow requirements.

From what I gather the intake that is used in the z06 is the same used in the stock LT1. The z06 motor, it seems to me, would require more airflow than the LT1, since the super charger is cramming more air into the motor. So, an unmodified LT1 would probably not benefit too much, other than the higher flowing air filter and potentially increased velocity of the air. So stock, you might get some horsepower.
I'm super skeptical and have been asking questions, since the cool air alone can't be worth a ton of power over the stock box. And if it's just the higher flow green filter that is oiled and also exposed to air directly outside of the car (more dirty), it'd be nice to get more data.
I can't see how you can get enough pressure to the intake manifold "ram air" with a tube that's sucking air and creating a little more velocity with the "reverse venturi" smaller diameter right before the throttle body. A z06 wouldn't care since it's supercharging already. To get ram air you need a inlet in the hood and a TON of air pressure.
Basically, justify this purchase to me that it's not worse off, because really I want at least better than stock air box and increased induction sound.

When the LT4 Kit is out, seeing it will answer allot of your questions.

For the none mechanic guys! Your post says for the Modified C7s, does that mean don't waste your money if your C7 is not Modified? Also, I don't know how to read a Dyno graph so for the non-technically folks, what does this product do for a non-modified C7. What is the HP gain etc.....?
