Like stated above has any L99 seen any better performance from adding this upgrade on there car? Is it worth it?

I got one it made the low end a little stronger but I had headers cai and xpipe and a tune before I put it on. I heard the more mods you have the better the gains just added a ported throttle body and the there is no more flooring it for a dead stop or anything under 40 mph without spinning

There are many opinions on this item....

in my case, i noticed better throttle response in the low end with the wedge, when i put a ported throttle body on it was significantly pronounced... most likely the throttle body.

You won't see big horsepower changes if any, torque will go up some. throttle response is where you will see the most difference.... at least in my case.

Shawn at Lethal likes it on modified cars
Since there is no 13 version of the vanaram this combined with a ram and a cai inc unit makes a good combo

Lethal doesn't seem to use or reccomend things that don't give solid gains.
They have suggested it for my build at Lethal.
I'll give it a shot.

Sorry two other people have already PM'd asking for it. Will notify the first one that made contact.

Edit: I deleted my other post because I didn't know so many people would be interested. Hopefully if the new owner doesn't like it they will pass it on cheaply so someone else can give it a try.

Son, do you really-really want to tell us exactly who recommended this POS?

Subject: RE: Vararam Wedge?

We have seen 8-12 HP with the wedge. They are 109.00 so even if it only picked up 8 then it is worth the extra money. Yes we will be close to 500. I know for sure we could do it with heads on the car, but without heads will be in the 490s for sure.

Sorry but I don't buy it!

What works is LT's, Cold air intake like Vararam, Haltech, Rotofab, CAI in that order. Also the vmax TB's for better response and a good Ecm and TRANNY tune. Period. That's just bolt on stuff excluding cams n other stuff.

No tornados, POWER wedges or AirRaid spacers or granatelli MAFS or JET 50hp plug in modules DO NOTHING!
