Post your air induction, and gains...
1)vararam
2)N/A(didn't dyno it by itself)(don't expect big dyno numbers from vararam)
3)12.58 @ 113.50 with vararam....(my firends same exact car, with VORTEX rammer and corsa catback went 12.7 @ 111mph on the same night.) Less modded vararam car was quicker.

'02 Z06 Stock with 14,000 miles: 346hp 337tq
With Vararam & East side tune: 365hp & 349tq
With QTP Headers and Hiflow x-pipe & Cats: 378hp & 370tq
So....
1:Vararam & tune
2:19hp & 12lb-ft
3: Never made a baseline pass
If I were to do it over I wouldn't go with a vararam, I might even change over to something else. Not real happy with the quality & I don't think I gained anymore then other setups.

Induction: VaraRam (stock black filter thing)
Dyno'ed: Baseline bone stock car: 311/326, w/ VRam: 323/330. No fans on the car for either run, no tune, and 2 days between stock dyno and V-ram dyno.

Only thing I wouldn't use of theres is the RACE foam filter. I say that only cause I have it, and the K&N filter..... at the track, the elapsed time, and MPH where exact. No need to run the foam filter...when the K&N blocks more debree...yet flows the same.

PSJ, alot of people swear by the callaway honker. fwiw i have the raptor XXL and love it. easy insallation and gets plenty of cool air from the front screens. i had the halltech trap before. i liked it but it was a pain in the *** to get to and got dirty realy quick because of its location. MTI also has a pretty sweet intake. i think J-rod is playing with that one right now. good luck.
The gains you see on the dyno will be the same gains you get at the track. You are not going to see any "ram air effect" from ANY intake unless you are running over 200mph in the 1320, even then it isnt much.

Wait, proof that ambient air is better than engine bay air? So colder air doesn't make more power? Or the fact that you could potentially show more gains at the track than on the dyno? The dyno is a tuning tool, leave the numbers to the Supra's.
My question would be do YOU have proof that a zip tie mod makes more if not the same power as any other aftermarket intake, and if so then why do shops bother switching intakes?
Next question, who cares?
