The base LT-1 system will use the OEM tube . We found no flow advantage in changing it ,even up to 750HP and 7,800 RPM .
It has better Thermal-dynamics as well, yielding cooler Intake temperatures inside the plenum of the intake manifold. VR tech |

I’m going to be completely honest here.
You guys are really late to the game. This thing better not be more than $59.99 w/ free shipping and an apology letter for tardiness. Unless there’s a substantial cost benefit to switching to this, or for new buyers to completely circumvent the existing, proven cold air intakes for this platform, you guys have a hill to climb and a lot of bias to overcome. Good luck either way.

Maybe this will help give you an idea of why we take the time we do in developing products. besides we have been working on a different Engine product for the LT-1's that will break cover very soon.
I posted this reply in another section for a customer : Primary difference is the system delivers the flow required to support a true gain in power vs tricking the ECM to alter the tune wile gaining little to zero increase in actual airflow. Some of our competition shows a very little to zero gain over factory when you tested TUNE for TUNE on the dyno and at the drag strip. The flow bench tests when flowing through the head verify this as well. We gain over 1/2-3/4 of a pound of manifold pressure wile some others tapper off down to 13.8-13.9 PSI @ 4,900RPM -6,000 RPM ! on a stock LT-1 ,that's well over 20 Rear wheel HP on a stock LT-1! The ZL-1's are simply in another world ! Comparisons to others on those have seen over 1.5lbs of pressure added "over and above" some of the competition. We have tested on stock and modified ZL-1's and the VR is a "MUST HAVE" for any ZL-1 ,especially if it's been modified. Construction materials - The materials have far better thermal-dynamic properties than Metal intakes with coatings and even the carbon Fiber intakes . Showing real world temps that are lower by 20-30 deg F inside the manifolds plenum or inside the supercharger ! Quality - Using both Injection and Rotational molding yields a precise fit and internal aerodynamic package that rivals OEM . There are a host of design features that will be shown in the coming week . Stay tuned to our facebook page and the forums for latest updates. VR tech |

Not to worry, there will be no feet dragging !
We have been head long on this project for months wile simultaneously running multiple R&D programs on the LT-1's and LT-4's engines for future products. We have tested every combination possible, we even modified the stock box to the point that it outperformed "EVERY" aftermarket intake on the market wile still using the stock paper filter! Our goal was to beat what we had created by a strong margin wile setting up for both LT-1 and ZL-1 vehicles. We more than reached that goal. More updates coming this week. VR tech |

The only worth while Dyno is from perf air intake back to stock and see if it loses ho
