VARARAM proves itself!!!!!!!
well just got back from the track and i have to say im pretty impressed with the results. 60' could have been a LOT better, but im on stock run-flats.
anyways, only mod since last trip to the track is the VARARAM. car is stock other then vararam and borla exhaust.
previous times..... 13.5's @ 108 all night.
tonight..... 13.1 @ 111.8
yeah my 60' was a 2.26 so my time suffered, but im impressed with the 3mph improvement
my LG longtubes arrived this morning, and i will tackle that project this sunday!! cant wait to see the improvement from those!!

it was nice meeting you
It was nice talking to you, I had the blue Z06
With the headers and some new tires you are going to be cutting a lot of your times.
You have also made me want to try a Vararam.

Good luck and nice gains!

Well into the 12.7's (or 12.6's) after the tune & headers as mentioned above..

Are we correct in assuming that the Vararam replaced the stock filter/airbox? I'll buy a Vararam tomorrow if you tell us you took off a Blackwing and gained 3 mph with the Vararam. Thanks for the info.....
and with your time already 12.4 @ 112 why would you want to change the filter? i doubt you would pick up any higher traps. and that is 1 quick car for stock!!!

FRC only
I believe that a slightly moded FRC could do this in good conditions with a real good driver. If this were a coupe or vertte I would have had to hold up the 
flag. Plus he is not on the runcraps, has some real good tires. This one passes my stink test, in other words I think this dog does hunt for once.
