Anyone here trying that MTI True Ram Air system?
I am possibly interested in changing my cold air kit for this system because i feel like my air flow is 2 restricted with the one i have now. i used to have a ram air kit on my LS1 and loved it. any feed back is appreciated

I love to go fast (above 100 mph) and in my opinion it felt like it was really making a difference above 100 mph. When the car was bone stock it felt fast, but after adding the Vararam CAI to it I noticed a major difference up top. Then with all the upgrades (h/c/i/bolton) it really enhanced the cars ability to breath enough up top. She breaths so well that I can bury the speedometer. (Probably more so because of the h/c and LG Motorsports tuning)

I have the MTI ramair setup on my 01 Z06. Didn't really notice any real gains with it at the track--similar weather, short times, etc.
I'd probably save my money and get a blower. No CAI needed :-).

Maybe you should try the VaraRam. I know for a fact that it works. When I used to goof around on the street and my car was stock I used to get whooped by my buddies lightly modded camaro. After the VaraRam was added I was only losing by 1-2 cars VS 3-4 cars. We used to run from 70-140 and 70 to a 100 he pulled me, but from 100-140 I was pulling him back in pretty good.

Vararam is the bomb! Alot of the guys have it and swear by it. Quality wise I bought a new one a few months back and it was pretty nice. a bit of a bitch to install but looks sweet.

I just don't have the scratch to blow on another CAI system. At 3-500 a pop, one was enough for me .
