And as mentioned Vararam posts, then disappears. You'd think they'd answer the application question. It still seems a bit tall to fit on a Camaro. But I don't know.

Camaro has more room between the engine and cowl than the C6 Corvette. There should be no clearance issues in our cars if it will fit in a Corvette.

Generally speaking the Corvettes are the ones with the tight hood clearances. I would think if it fits on a Covette it should fit on a Camaro.

Their CAI sure performs. Let's hope their intake manifold takes after the other products.

All these companies do this. They show up, talk about 40, 60, 90 hp this and that, then disappear, and then re-appear months later saying "oh, sorry but due to blah blah blah blah we couldn't proceed forward with the yada yada yada". I'm a fan of Vararam intakes...so I hope they won't leave us hanging.

Wait a sec, I'm not sure I follow what you're saying. You said it "says nothing about fitting a Camaro". I was under the impression that you meant fitting on the engine. To which I replied that it fits on LS3 square ports according to the article...which the Camaro has. So are you saying it won't bolt on to the engine of a Camaro or that it won't fit under the hood of a Camaro? Because if it's low profile design allows it to fit under a Corvette hood, then I'm sure it will fit under a Camaro hood. I'm just not understanding what your point is/was.

Some answers

The VRX manifold
General Q & A update.
WE hope this answers some of the questions that have been posed on this forum.
Does it fit under a Camaro Hood? – YES, it does. In general if something fits under a Corvette hood, it will fit under almost anything.
Look Of the unit- The manifold shown is a rapid prototype in Glass nylon for testing on cars and on the Dyno.
You can expect to see Gray or Black Plenums with Red lettering and Gray or Black Runners.
This all depends on the final molded “LOOK”. We will leak this out on multiple forums to judge reaction.
Power- There is a substantial amount of power to be gained from a stock car and even more from cars with a cam, heads/ cam or larger cubic inch combinations.
We will have numbers for you soon. We have been testing to dial in closer to each combination to generate the maximum power from each. All combinations will vary, however, RPM range and general flow rate from the most common head combinations is about the same.
Price- The unit will be competitive with the current polymer manifolds that are on the market.
