As far as the track we picked up 2 tenths with the vararam but then lost it after we tuned it. When we replaced the Vararam with the Raptor with the same tune in the car and after an hour and a half to take it off and letting the temp raise another 10 degrees we still ran .55 seconds faster. More HP on the dyno and better results at the track with our application and its cheaper and faster to install.
So where do you get one? WHat does it look like?

Big difference 'tween this Z06 and my Formula is that this Z06 won't hook whatsoever on the stock tires. I'm sure with 500rhwp the car is a handle and a deathtrap.

The formula will come out running a 88mm turbo and a street tune soon. I'll keep that car on a big drag radial and hopefully run 8's first time out.

Any pics of the XXL Raptor air setup?
You need some new tires. Z06s get excellent traction... I personally love a 18" drag radial...With BFGs you can cut 1.4 short times, and not give up basically any handling.
