I'd say its good for .2 or 20hp on average. You'll most likely see about
15 peak hp, but you could see 25hp in the mid range. The HP under the curve (in the middle rpm range) is important and should be noted. Several owners and Maryland speed have track tested their Vararam intake and they saw around .2 on average. That would equate to around 20hp.

Also, dynos don't measure "ram air" affect the intake is getting at
80+ mph as you're going down the track. The Vararam intake design does a excellent job of putting outside air into the intake at speed.
No offense but i'm playing the "bullshit card" on the HP gains and the supposed Ram Air effect. Neither are happening here sorry.
