I have an insider who told me the following back on January 7:

Not sure if I shared, but the new realistic dates from the source are:
> LS7- March 6th
> LS2, LS1/6, and LS3/LS99- March 26th


SO, I'm unsure if things changed over the past 2 weeks, but March looks like the timeline.

I bet Nitrous Outlet and Nitrous Express are looking to get their hands on one of these so they can do up a trick direct port setup. I'm sure a nitrous plate will be in the works by both companies too.

Man it's going to be tough. The thing is tall... It's a 103? I wonder if Nick Williams is on top of this yet?

Where are you guys getting dimensions from? I haven't seen any. Are you just going off pictures and concluding that its taller than a Fast?

I'm sure it can be done, but a plate kit may be the better option if height is an issue. I want to know what Nitrous Outlet and Nitrous Express have planned.

I'm bowing out of this thread.

The amount of R&D that went into the new Vararam VRX is simply insane, and has #'s to back it up, tests conducted at SAM.

Here's the test:


But there's no way it's fitting in a 4th gen, or a vette, or a GTO.... Lol.

Well, will there be an LS1 version?

It is ugly as sin though, but I guess who cares.

Okay, I was mistaken, apparently it will fit a vette. Vararam says it will fit C5/C6 with no cutting.

The vararam is very interesting, but I'm not sure that's going to fit in a f-body, but I could be wrong... if they want to send me one, I can test it.

The Vararam is very interesting. I've been following it for a while. It will be interesting to see what a finished version looks like with the TB adapter, which is basically hose clamps right now. Looks like it's essentially a dual-plenum, dual throttle-body design with a TB stuck between the two sides. That thing should flow major amounts of air.
