Has there been any confirmed dyno testing with Vararams new cold air intake system yet ? Just curious if it produces the #'s Vararam claims.

Noticed it is just for 2012 - 2015 models.

I know this is because those models got left out from the original versions due to the radiator neck position.

But just wondering if this is useable without modification on a 2010-2011.

I absolutely love my Vararam, but I will take any intake that offers me even more powah!

Not sure about the dyno numbers because its like a ramair style intake but i put it on my 2015 camaro and you can really feel the difference... but it is an ugly intake lol

SLY5ACE · 12-22-2016, 08:03 AM

do they make that intake for the slp supercharger?

07-SRT · 12-26-2016, 07:38 AM

I have currently have the roto-fab and put down 467/435 (cam and bolt ons) SAE corrected. Im going back to the same dyno jan 8th only cange will be the Vararam so I will have results then. My guess is it wont make much of a difference on the dyno but benefit more in the 1/4 mile when the car is moving forcing air in

Im thinking about trying this new CAI. Looks promising. I might not do a back to back dyno to test it against my Halltech but track isnt going to lie I think. I love the ram air effect into it and the zero drag air tube. I found it at a very low price, 50$ lower than most sites. PM me for info. Not involved into the sale, just stumble upon it will rechearching the web.

Looks like they definitely did their homework, I like it. Don't really know about any verified HP gains, although I'm sure it will perform. That being said I been running my Z/28 intake for about 15,000 miles with no issues and proven HP gains. I don't see the need to swap out my intake every time someone puts out a new intake!

Wouldn't support vararam. They are known to lie.

BFASTNOTLAST · 01-05-2017, 08:47 AM

I don't have any back to back data, but I have run both my quickest ET and MPH with this intake with no other changes but the VR.

NABeastRR · 01-05-2017, 10:18 AM

Bfastnotlast what was the coldair before and how much did exactly did you pick up over it?

About 1 tenth and 1 mph over my R2C.
