I was speaking directly to Pat at Vararam for a while and from our conversations the testing was about done... At this point I would suspect either they are waiting for a patent or the thing just doesn't work...

Ls1 and and LS7 style heads will be getting one the LS3 style heads had very little gains just like MSD and will not be out for production.

Is this a guess or do you know this for a fact? If it is true I'm back to doing a Small Bire LS7 head swap...

My Houston buddy who works near Vararam says it's pretty much true. I have a feeling the LS3 won't have much gains IMO

That, sucks. I hope you and your buddy are wrong. I'm betting you're not though...

Hopefully not the latter but this wait is comical unless they are having tooling problems

I really was hoping that they would have this finished by now. If they're having issues getting it manufactured, or whatever the case may be, they'd be better off informing everyone and not leaving it up to speculation. All that leads to is rumors and potential customers going elsewhere.

I just sent Vararam an email asking if there are any updates they can share as to when the VR-X intake manifold might be available. Let's see what they have to say.
