When is the Vararam intake coming?

[shroomjohn]

So how hard is it to tilt the radiator do we need new brackets I can turn a wrench but am not an expert so is this something most people could do or should we try and find somewhere to take, thanks

Thanks for the update Steve. I'll wait it out for you guys -- hope this thing knocks my socks off.

I posted on the preorder list some time ago, so I should be able to get one of the first orders

We will be closing the preorder list as of Monday August 17th!!! If you are interested please post by then as we will be closing the thread at that time!!
The first production units will be shipped according to this list and we will open ordering to everyone else after all the preorders have been contacted and shipped! Any questions call me at 866-507-2648!!

Do you have any idea on how much the intake would cost?

They previously mentioned it being between $1 and $499. I would estimate final price being close to that $499, and maybe a group buy of $449, but thats just me guessing. Maybe we get lucky and the price is $449 and group buy of $400.

This crucial part has been on my list for some time. If it comes out and isn't all it's cracked up to be....(like that would happen)...then I'll start looking elsewhere.

IMO, it'll be worth it.

That raises a good point. The loyal Vararam preorder individuals I would assume get some sort of group discount rate. Steve?

Then there's the fact that both the OTR systems for these cars draw fresh air from the front of the vehicle, not the engine bay.

And these OTR kits have about 1/3 the inlet tubing length from filter media to throttle body, versus the dog leg style.

Damn... sucks when facts come into the picture.

I brought up this in just about the same a couple weeks ago when someone was asking which is better of the two types. Clearly the OTR is.

All the preorders will get a "discounted" price as compared to what will be normal retail. Your patience will be rewarded in pricing and performance!!!!!
Thanks

Test Notes from the road for the 6sp VR Camaro Ram air system development
Camaro 6 speed test ( VRX-004)
WE have now logged the car for almost a week and run about 200 miles with no check engine lights without doing any custom tuning etc..
I have completed all coldstart simulations from 65 deg to our current 90-100+ temps.
Fuel trims are in line with OEM and the car runs strong
Freeway cruise in 5th and 6th - here fuel trims are also within OEM and look good, fuel MPG is better.

accceleration testing;
( small beta test mule VRX- #004 vs factory stock)
DA is 2375ft
1 person 200lbs + 1/2 tank of shell 93 oct
12pm test start
2,500RPM launch on fast release
All Runs are Hot laps, no cooldown etc.. and never any tuning.

Stock runs are
0-60 4.71- 4.78
1/4mile 13.18-13.20@ 107.1 107.5mph
60ft times are 2.10-2.13sec
(customer ran the car at the track with some cooldown and ran a 13.18@108.5mph best on a 2.15-18 ,60ft)


With VR test mule #004 installed
Car now runs consistent 0-60mph times of 4.30- 4.37 ( 6 back to back runs,no cooldown, no tuning)
launch is 2,500 RPM, wheels spin is 5ft, as measured
60ft times are 2.12-2.15 sec (lousy but consistant)
1/4mile times 12.80-12.87 @ 110.5-110.7mph ( 3 runs back to back, No cooldown,)
with correction factor
12.5-12.6@ 112-113mph!

Rain delay.....

later in day after rain delay 7.30pm
DA is 1947ft
Same launch tecnique,however, the rain has blown the launch pad the car either Bogs or I have to be more aggressive with clutch release and it just blows the tires off of it!

0-60mph 4.47-4.50
60ft times are 2.23-2.31 ( No consistantcy, NO grip)

All further acceleration testing for the day "ABORTED"

I will continue data loging through the night untill 5am

I will switch to the larger "TUNE ONLY" unit VRX-#005 at 7am 08/18/09

[Croathlete]

Tune only unit? The plot thickens....

[TresLS'S]

Great numbers! I already had a feeling that they would be after seeing how this unit did with the G8's! Can't wait to see how the Tune Only unit does
