Default 2008 Stock air box?
I was looking at my air induction on our 08 and it looks pretty good from the factory unlike the LS1's. Is there power to be had by just changing this and if so is it dyno varified?

Yes a VARARAM and a couple others are good for 10 HP on the dyno. But they also act like a FTRA and show more gains above 40 mph. Think of it as getting a lid and FTRA when you buy one.

I replaced mine with 200 miles on it. I used the Vararam and what a difference. I can hit 100+ in no time and the CAI fits like a charm.
