Installed my Vararam today.
I finally got my Vararam and installed it when I got home from work. The directions aren't quite as accurate as the need to be but I'm sure they'll get better. As far as the install goes it's pretty straight forward and easy. My hood shuts with a little more effort now but it's nothing to worry about. I've had my battery unhooked for the last 30 minutes or so. I'm going outside to hook it back up and take it for a test drive. I'll post any butt-o-meter results.

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.

Cool. I am 50/50 with this or the New Era OTR. Can't decide which.

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.
Just got mine installed today as well. I actually inverted the supplied silicone coupler so it's orange to match my car

777rwhp Dyno Queen- 383 LT1, F1A Procharger, S60, LS1 PCM Conversion, Tuned by TuneTime. 10.7@137
2008 Pontiac G8 GT - Ignition Orange - TTP Tuned/Vararam Intake/ARH LT's - 12.86@108 - Should of held third
I test drove it. I couldn't tell a huge difference but I did notice better throttle response and it seemed to pull a little better in third and forth which would make sense. I think my car is in serious need of a tune to bring out the maximum potential of the headers and intake. I have plans this weekend so I can't get it tuned then but I hope to have it tuned sometime in the near future.

cool! from past experience moving the map will hurt you until you get a tune... so a rotofab may feel better w/o the tune.... but the OTR should pay off with the tune.
