Went to Camarofest this weekend. I went to the track on Fri nite here are the results. This is with a 2SSRS 6 manual with ARH 1 7/8 LT no tune. I am by no means a consistent or very good drag racer.
R/t -- .141 ----- .183 ---- .391 ---- .016
60 -- 2.166 ---- 2.316 ---- 2.192 ---- 2.174
330 -- 5.833 ---- 5.990 ---- 5.822 ---- 5.739
1/8 -- 8.736 ---- 8.900 ---- 8.689 ---- 8.574
mph -- 85.03 ---- 85.06 ---- 86.23 ---- 87.49
1000 -- 11.193 ---- 11.354 ---- 11.116 ---- 10.978
1/4 -- 13.237 ---- 13.428 ---- 13.166 ---- 13.019
mph -- 110.77 ---- 108.77 ---- 109.93 ---- 110.51

Sat afternoon had the tune version vararam installed by vengence racing along with their tune for LS3 with headers and vararam and here are those results.
R/t -- .424 ---- .243 ---- .444 ---- .341
60 -- 2.206 ---- 2.046 ---- 2.150 ---- 2.128
330 -- 5.755 ---- 5.546 ---- 5.685 ---- 5.675
1/8 -- 8.606 ---- 8.353 ---- 8.501 ---- 8.683
mph -- 87.15 ---- 88.42 ---- 88.10 ---- 82.88
1000 -- 11.010 ---- 10.732 ---- 10.889 ---- 11.172
1/4 -- 13.054 ---- 12.752 ---- 12.918 ---- 13.265
mph -- 110.45 ---- 111.74 ---- 111.21 ---- 108.23

So its obvious I'm far from consistent, I know. I did have a couple of other runs on both days but they were pretty much in the same ball park except when I missed third a couple times. As far as feel goes, the car pulls much stronger. Fri I was shifting into 4th just before the traps. Sat I was into fourth what felt like 100-150 feet earlier. I obviously can't say how much of my gains are from the vararam and how much are from the tune. I did notice some surging occasionally on my way home, a couple hundred miles, but it smoothed out considerably by the time I got home. I'll see what some around town does for the driveability. All in all I'm impressed with the intake.

Thanks, definitely need to work on the 60 ft. A couple guys broke up there. One I know was an axle. So I didn't want to push my luck any further. That wheel hop is a bitch.

josh,
i was nice meeting you...those were some good times, dont forget that also on friday night was cooler so, the vararam would probably run better on a cooler night
