Wow! Tune only? Well, I have decided to stop just short of a tune due to warranty so #004 will do just fine for me!

So are there going to be two different intakes depending if you plan to tune your car or not? I'd hate to buy the VRX-004 model to just later down the road decide to tune the car and then need to buy the VRX-005 for increased performance.

I'd prefer no tune, at least for now. Will we be getting some pictures?

Vararam Update

WE are currently shipping 6 Beta Prototype VR Camaro systems accross the the country for final airfuel ratio evaluation of both the "NO TUNE" required and the "TUNE ONLY" systems.
This will allow us to verify our in house test simulations of different Density altitude conditions for cold start and long term fuel trims etc..

We are moving to Production tooling at this time and adding the final tweaks to the systems for fit finsh as well as setting up our production CNC systems.
.
.
There will be two types of VR systems going into production a "NO TUNE" and a "TUNE ONLY"system
( our public testing has been with the "NO TUNE" systems , the weaker of the two)
WE will be providing pictures soon of the production models and complete spec sheets on both.
(You can always custom tune a "NO TUNE" system for more power)


( The final Beta test mules)
There will be many features unveiled in the production units that are also part of the Patent Pending design that will not be seen on these Beta test units

The Beta testers will be painted flat black, serial numbered and welded shut to keep prying eyes out
The pupose of these units is to gather final data from other vehicles from around the country.
.
2 "TUNE ONLY" systems will be built for tuners we have selected for evaluation.
(TBA at a later time)

(4) "NO TUNE" Prototype systems will be built for the following

1. 2-SS-RS .(Camaro 5 member)
2. SS1_2010 (Camaro 5 member and now Local 6sp test car)
3. Private Non forum member ( Local long term ,Auto test car )
4. TBA


We appreciate the Patience Forum members have shown. We will simply never push a product out that has not completed its test cycle.

You guys are gonna love this thing! I am doing some testing for vararam and this thing is awesome no doubt in my mind these guys are going to deliver a product that won't dissapoint you! I raced a 550hp 02 camaro and we were side by side from 50mph allthe way to about 110-120mph and he swore I had more done than just an intake.

Vararam Update!!!!

The VR Camaro system has completed its test cycles and all Beta test units have been shipped.
Two VRX Beta systems have already accumulated over 1,000miles of testing "each" in just 1 weeks time ,with No issues and No custom tuning.

We are now moving the Camaro unit to full production tooling.

We have decided to make the production models from "Rotary tooling". This will allow for a more seamless design ,with many features incorporated in that were not present in the test units allowing for a quick and easy installation (8-10 min!) with no cutting or drilling on the car.

Quality- The quality will be OEM as promised. ,This type of tooling allows for the type of quality you expect from an OEM

The Look and Feel- Here improvements have also been made as this type of tooling allows for more architectural freedom,allowing for a smoother more attractive part

We feel this will give customers one of the finest products they can buy for the new 2010 Camaro
We promised the Camaro owners something very special and we will be delivering just that.

We have been quoted 3-4weeks for the new tooling and we are already underway.

We appreciate the Patience that Customers have shown as we have been testing the new system. It is important for us to always run long term test mileage on new systems, Datalog and run Wideband air/fuel tests as well.This takes time and we know that everyone wants their new "TOY"now. In the end VR has created the most powerful Ram air system we have ever created for a Road car of any kind.

The "NO Tune" models will absolutly shock with there dyno numbers and there real world performance gains- This unit represents a new way of designing our induction systems around GM's E38 computer system.This is where we spent most of our R&D time and it shows!
( We easily reached 3 tenths and 3 MPH 1/4 mile gains and 1/2 second off 0-60mph)
This unit will also cary a gurrantee on it's power gain!

The "Tune Only" models - These are tools for enthusiasts and Tuners alike to use to set records and win races with Period!

The exact specs for each unit ,video footage of some of the R&D and Dyno information will be leaked soon and we are sure that the VRX test units will find there way on to dyno's as well.
