I am with you, completely sold on the VaraRam!
I predict it will Significantly Outperform both the MSD, and
FAST 102, even with Various Runners!
I have known Patrick 15+ years, Super Smart and the guy is
Monomaniacal about Intake Manifold Design,
not shy either! LOL

It's going to be around that level, yes. I don't want to get into specifics bc I really don't know where the chips are going to fall.
Well, I shall sit back and keep my eyes and ears open. I am fairly certain I'm going to be going the procharged route. I should be able to save up enough money over the spring/summer to piece together a kit.

Now if the cam was installed first, and the heads later, with all things being right (cam matched to heads, somehow in advance) then yes I can see 50.
Intakes, intakes, intakes! I had a good friend today install his MSD and have it tuned. It's was on an LS7, so there's probably a little difference but after hours of tuning he only gained 10whp over the factory unported LS7 intake and that was from 4500-7k. Under the curve it lost power.

You know that's right!
Could be. The tuner worked hard and long in th tune. Street tuning was already done, so the only tuning needed was Dyno tuning, and it was on the dyno for over 4 hours.
I'll see if he'll send me the graph.

I'm not discrediting the results and I look forward to the dyno sheet and more testing but the MSD looks like a good design how can it not at least beat out a stock ls7 everywhere?
