Until you've tried one, remember that R&D isn't always an exact science...and compared with some of the other vendors I've dealt with, these guys have been pretty "stand up" in my humble opinion.

Just like i said before there are some problems. You happened to not have a problem and your a very satisfied customer. BUT there are more than a few on here that dont feel the same as you that is the point i made so i cash in my .02 that dont mean diddly squat again. I suggest you learn to read and comprehend. not just read and counter post

I read and comprehend just fine, thank you very much. In fact, I've probably spent more time on the phone with Steve and Patrick and on this forum than you with my hands tied behind my back.
The reason I counter-posted what you said was for the simple fact that it was just a malicious rant and really made no sense at all. If you're going to post, than try to keep it constructive and intuitive. Comprende?

Nope, can't say I have... only time I had that happen was when I did my Tune and didn't disconnect the negative battery cable for long enough.

I would suspect the same thing should/hopefully would solve your issue. Disconnect the Negative battery cable for 4-5 minutes thus resetting the cars computer.

Thumbs down Negative comments get wiped?

What is happening?Negative comments being edited out? Is there a reason that protectionism is needed?Products should stand on their own.Future and current buyers should be able to express their opinion's based on facts presented and (feedback), as long as the do not insult others or attack another's position.

You may be experiencing what I did when I installed my headers. Our cars have an update requirement for the software, and I think that any changes made to the system with bolt-ons may set off the Stabilitrac code. The same happened to me. Have you brought yours in for the reflash upgrade yet? It worked fine for me. Only problem is, if you have a dynotune you may need it redone, whereas if you have a mailed tune you can set it back to stock and reapply it once you've had your ECM reflashed by a GM mechanic. Hope this helps.

I think that is the best way to get real world testing. I commend Vararam for the effort they have put forth to make the best product they can and if that involves beta testing so be it. I hope they get the kinks ironed out soon.

You're joking right? Would you be so kind if your new Camaro had to be taken back in for design fixes? Would you chalk it up to being a beta-tester for GM? Hell no, you wouldn't. You'd be pissed that your damn car wasn't PROPERLY tested BEFORE you bought it.

First, no negative comments were "wiped out." There has been NO protectionism. If you could , you'd clearly see that.

Regardless, as we've said before...and it seems I'm having to say several times, this thread is for WHO got their Vararam and HOW it ran. This includes ALL feedback on the unit...

Now....keep it ON topic or stuff like this will wind up getting deleted!

I forgot to plug in the MAF sensor
Well, it is in and this morning the car ran great. I had no issues what so ever with bucking or surging, the car purred smooth all morning.
