None of the early threads were about the V6. I wasn't even aware they were building one for the V6. They seem to have fixed the driveablity problems with the V8 model, with the latest revision.

Just installed mine on friday.
absolutely no problems with driveability, fired right up and idled smoth from the beginning. drove about 150-200 miles now

the problems were with early production ones and the cars that have a "bad" maf-sensor. I had to get a better sensor too along with the intake...

What new MAF did you get? My Vararam bucked like crazy but I was one of the first. I all most wonder if a better MAF would work with my CAI.

As far as the VaraRam drivability issue on the No-Tune model, it's fixed and has been for well over a year now. If you have a tune one, you MUST tune.

Search the V8 forums and you will find a lot of information from people with the new version. Almost all of them with 100% satisfaction. Some have provided fuel trim information, some dynoed, others with track time.

Anyone researching needs to suck it up and read it all.

Pricing - MarylandSpeed has had them for 383 shipped for a while now. BUt I see a cleaning kit too, which is around and additional $20

We sell them, and they are actually selling quite well. Some people here have wrote them off because they did not take part in whatever test...and took a few revisions to get the intake right. However now it works pretty well. We tested one at the link below, and the real world numbers were great.
