It looks good in the pics. I'm interested to see the results with the Superchips tune and the Vararam installed.

You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong. You cannot help the wage earner by pulling down the wage payer. You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich. You cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they could and should do for themselves.

This thread is like going to the strip joint with quaters in your pocket......It does not get you anything but a hard on!!!!!!!
I would like to see dyno numbers......

Understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car and oversteer is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car. Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall, torque is how far you take the wall with you.
Thats one way of putting it! LOL!

unfortunately the real gain will not be shown on a dyno unless the car is put in a windtunnel with a dyno and I dont think I can afford to be dynoed there (unless Charlie will pay for it) lol -Any true ram air system needs to have a massive amount of air being shoved in it to show true numbers - im not saying a gain wont be seen but it certainly will not reflect real world conditions - i am getting my car tuned and dyno'd here soon in Houston and will have an extra cortex for sale if anyone is interested - but please dont hijack the thread for that just pm me and we will work something out when my tune is done.
Not that you couldn't put enough quarters to good use...
I think it would be reasonable to say that it should show the same gains as a NEP OTR on the dyno. But on the street/track it will see some better gains.

Deciding: Cam in a year?
Here's my newbie question of the day. Since it looks like this is going to be my 1st performance upgrade this year, do I need to have the car tuned or can that wait until after I decide on my exhaust setup?
My thought is vavaram, cat back exhaust then tune to get beat performance but if I put both of those items on the car will I HAVE to be tuned right away?
