Vararam Air Induction System Tune
I apologize in advance if this has already been covered, I couldn't find it...
I'm looking at getting the Vararam air induction for my 2010 L99. I have a CAI, muffler delete axle back exhausts, and LT headers that have already been tuned. Should I buy the 'tune' or 'no tune' Vararam and would this mess up the tune I already have? I didn't know if the O2 sensors would get messed up and start throwing codes because of the tune I have already. I plan on getting another tune done on the Camaro but I want to wait until I have the Vararam and some other bolt on mods installed. Thanks for any input you guys can give me. |

The vararam moves the maf sensor right in front of the throttle body, I would suggest a retune after with both model's of the intake

I agree. Even the 'No-Tune' version should really be tuned for. Whether or not you existing CAI tune would help, I have no idea. But why not take full advantage of what this intake can offer?

I will third the above statements and say get the tuned version because you'll need to retune for the Vararam. On the bright side, you should be getting more power out of your car with this intake. I'm a BIG fan of Roto-fab and even CAI, but even though I didn't buy a Vararam, they will make the best power out of those three. The reason I didn't buy one is because I had planned on going forced induction one day and it was not compatible with a supercharger and I didn't want to have to buy multiple cold air intakes.
