Run some Data Log Tests with the car in current trim. If all looks good then we will drop in a test component and run some additional Data Logs.

Just curious, by you doing this. What benefit will the owner of the ZO6 get from VaraRam? I have a 2017 C7 ZO6 Auto with 180 miles on her. I live south of Houston in Lake Jackson! Thanks!!

I sent you a E-mail

You will see massive Power and Torque increases,
combined with increased reliability and performance consistency.

When I data Log stock LT4 cars in normal TX weather (+2,500-3,000+ DA) and see up to -6.9deg of knock retard and boost is down by 2lbs or more, massive gain is a true understatement.

I have not logged my stock LT4, but know it generates a fair amount of knock retard as I can hear a slight bit of audible "pinging" from time to time. (Thanks, CARB, for our 91 octane fuel.) Do I understand your comments correctly -- that your intake design will reduce the amount of knock retard and therefore the possibility of "pinging" on 91 octane fuel?

Thanks for your comments on the issue.

ZERO Knock retard, Period!
Your not knocking from91 fuel. GM engineers for that in the stock ECM's commanded timing and AFR numbers. Your knocking from excessive restriction and some heat soak.
The numbers that I posted for stock were using 93oct Shell gas that we test for contaminants.

A new intake is great! Can we get a blog, and graphs, with discussion of your successes and failures during prototyping like mishimoto does. I'm a nerd, and that makes me feel happy reading engineering blogs.

Thanks.
