I'm running the Vortex the problem with it is it's a bottom feeder, you pick up lots of crap from under the front of the car. I put a screen on it to stop the problem other than that its been great.

I like the Blackwing, I went from the Blackwing to the Vararam and did not see any gains in trap speed! The Blackwing is simple looks clean and works.

Alright so here's what we've decided to try!!! Give me your opinions on this setup and tell me what you think!! He wants to buy the Halltech's "Air Bridge" because it's much larger than the stock one...then add the Vararam ram air system to that!! Do you guys foresee any problems with this setup??

The air bridge and the Blackwing. I have the Vararam and for what it cost and how hard it is to install and the cheap filter it has, makes it not worth it.

Look at the Raptor before you make your purchases. Do a search for the Z06 Store for the website, call and ask about their new raptor and the dyno results. You'll be surprised!

I always wondered if the two pieces would work together... I have no idea... but if you try it out... let us know how it fits

He just ordered them both He caled one place and told them that he bought the Halltech but brok the coupler and the Air bridge trying to modify it!!! So he asked how much it would be for just those two peices...came out to 190 for the air bridge and the coupler sweet deal!!!! Then he paid out right for the V-ram!!!

NAUTILIS: They should work together becuase the Halltech Air Bridge is meant to fit to the MAFS!!!! The other side of the MAFS is made to fit the V-Ram!!!!

Did you order a K&N filter for your Vararam, it comes with the shodiest filter you have ever seen.
