It's good but it's not nearly as good as the Vararam.
The Vararam is a true cold air intake while the K&N set up has been jokingly referred to as a hot air intake LOL because it sucks it's air from under the hood.

These stock times are making my car feel like old news! lol. I remember when mid-low 12's seemed fast. Those are stock times now!!! Damn.... seems like i need to boost my car! Im hoping to hit high 11's this time around at the track, but big whoop, Im running stock c6 times.... and im highly modded. This sux, lol. Well, at least the future looks bright for GM. Im hoping the new camaro gets the LS3 as the base v8

I had mine Dyno tuned and had the torque managment reduced and I would love to line up beside a M-6 LS3 and compare. This is the fastest automatic I have riden in. It dynoed 385 rwhp and 378 rwtq bone stock and with the vararam added. Then we tuned it and it runs very nice!
The vararam is not going to supposed to make any if at all no horsepower on the dyno. It makes power at speed by filling up the intake. When a vararam equipped car is doing 80 mph its making more power than any other cold air kit.

Strong A6 man. You matched my bone stock numbers on my M6(even though mine was completely bone stock, no intake). One thing is for sure, GM's 6spd auto definitely puts down some stout times and isn't that much less efficient than the M6. Highly consistent 60's must be nice.

Good summary. To the OP, the Vararam is just like adding the FTRA with the lower plate. You rarely see it show up much on the dyno, but before and after track times show ET and MPH improvements.

I miswrote the statement. The car made 385 and 378 right in off the street. We added the Vararam and got 384 and 378. We tuned it and got around 395 and 397 I believe.

Z51 has nothing to do with quarter mile time. You just need a stick shift LS3 car for low 12's. I know, holy thread revival.
