Vararam Intake Manifold

I understand that a $1000 manifold probably isn't the first mod people do, but at the same time I'd like to see what a manifold can do versus what a manifold + huge TB/tune can do. To help determine how much the manifold helped versus just getting a huge 102 TB or similar.

That is supposed to happen in April down here in Tampa. They are still waiting on a manifold as far as I know.

Rgr... the thing that got me is I remember seeing something like "20-25hp with MSD intake and TB!" then found an ad that said 15-20hp from JUST the TB on another website... so I'd just like to see what each can do.

If I were to guess on both of these manifolds I would say around 20 HP with a broader curve that's where the money is at. The Vararam hopefully will be deep into the 20's close to 30 and the MSD will be in the low 20's.

TQ I gotta assume the Vararam will have some advantage due to the runners.

agreed . we shall see

I've said it before though that Vararam is going to have to knock it out of the park to make the underhood packaging worth the hassle over the MSD.

I am being told it is now testing and fitting (no dyno #s)

*sigh*...

They were testing and fitting almost a year ago

Buddies out in Houston where Vararam is are actually testing on a ls3 Vette from what they've seen but no #s have been released. It's getting closer to the results but as for as being out in public I think about 8 months to another year.

craziness... I assumed this is just a game between them and msd to see who releases #s first then to release bigger #s or similar... this can't really take this long. Especially for the ram-air intake setup.

Maybe through your contacts we can get some ballpark figures. Vararam stated they were looking for cars in the Houston area to test with. I will be ready in about 8 months to make a decision.

can't view youtube at work :(!!!! Are you going to put it on FB?

PS - any word on the air intake option for the 13+? Would love to buy one today. Have a dyno 5 minutes from the house if you need a tester

That's the same video we've seen for roughly 6 months. We need new stuff the natives are getting restless.

The Vararam 2012+ intake fiasco has got to be, at this point, the most ridiculed and outlandish event in aftermarket parts history. Seriously.

At this point I'm waiting out of morbid curiosity.
