So 11.5hp and nearly 21tq?
If true, that's some of the cheapest power you can buy for these cars. VR, can this be used with my Vararam SS intake (2010 L99) without modification?

Basically adjusts the angle of the TB to a different angle to decrease bottle neck angle of TB with its down turn off manifold and also further disperse air to atomize air/ fuel.....
Why the numbers on the chart are lower below 2300? Could just be a stumble on the run up between runs..... But I know a guy whos ran one from the get go. He likes it.

There has been testing of this and it does not make this kind of power, its all advertisement. The video shows a yellow camaro during a dyno run, big deal, what does that prove.

Data logs from Corvettes to Camaros show a MAP Pressure improvement and a flow increase in the MAF. The flow bench shows an improvement all the way through the cylinder head. There is a min power gain that is guaranteed. All cars and combinations will very. This car was a stock automatic. We have never had to take a Wedge back because it did not work. The best part is ,....It's cheap HP and Torque. After all, how can someone ever expect to make full/max Power when their Throttle body blade is blocking the floor of their manifold? VR tech |

So independent 4ft lbs, which is dyno error, vs 21ft lbs which is b.s.

You will find 9-12ft lbs at peak Torque and a fatter HP curve giving 8-10 hp leading to a peak power gain at max RPM of 5-8HP. Most have Zero dial in time . If you drive a few miles on the dyno and give the ECM time to learn you will make more power. Increases in MAF flow and manifold pressure don't come from BS parts. VR tech |

Seems like average gains are 4-6 whp and 8-12 wtq. Worth while mod in my mind. Everything adds up in the end!
