[QUOTE="Keith Tedford, post: 142008, member: 1228"] A few years ago, I picked up a Vararam intake from a fellow going supercharged. You would have to do a before and after run on a drag strip to see the difference. They claimed big numbers. The car runs fine. The guy at the Corvette specialty shop told me to drive easy for the first couple of hundred miles to give the computer time to learn the new air flow characteristics. Never a problem computer wise and the car has passed emissions tests just fine as well. I was OK with $125 but certainly wouldn't go out and pay what they want for a new one. Lately, I saw a figure of $648. That money could buy me something that I want more. I was talking to a guy lately who is into all these little gadgets and takes great pride in adding their advertised gains to the factory hp ratings for some sort of bragging rights. I've been into musclecars since the 1960s and have yet to see an add on that made any big difference and that includes headers. Blowers and turbos are a different story. You want real horsepower gains, then that is the way to go. [/QUOTE]
