The Rotofab was tested at the track against a modified stock airbox w/ green filter and the test car still went quicker and faster in worse DA. That was a Bolt-on SS car.

Back in the 4th gen LS1 hey day's Chris 1313 developed a ram air system for the F body. it showed very little power gain on the dyno. However at the track guys were picking up 2+ mph in trap speed.

The testing needs to be done at the track/street. Send me a Vararam and Ill test it against my Big Gulp RF with a Dragy. I have a good spot to test. I will log data and confirm that the tune isn't skewed. I will also make sure the MAT are similar before doing any testing. No BS unbiased testing will be made. I am all for higher performing products and if the Vararam proves to be that much better I will switch.
This would be a good volunteer for the bet. I just need a few more.
