Not really an issue with the right software.

 

HOPEFULLY the G8's version of the Vararam is better then the cheap peice of CRAP the vette's get. It's build quality is LAUGHABLE at best

 

Really? I thought this was a popular piece with the Vette crowd...

 

That's what I thought as well.

 

Word is the hardware is done, just waiting on the filters now.

 

it is popular with the Vette crowd but the build quality is CRAP. Not ALL of the kits are bad but alot are. They have to silcone the filter in so it's airtight(gaps to let dirt thru) and lots of parts that aren't plastic welded together very good. Check out Corvetteforum.com in the C5 section and check some of the most recent Vararam threads. They have pics of the horrible build quality. It sucks because i know the performance gains from them are supposed to be AWESOME. Alot of guys just installed anyway and said that once it's in, the flaws aren't noticable. but who wants to pay $300+ on an intake they have to modify to make work right and looks like it's gonna fall apart in their hands. I HOPE the G8 crowd gets a better built unit.

This is next on my list after the full kooks exhaust... but the ported tbody, and u/d will come at the same time... I'm pretty excited.

 

I've heard that the C5 kits had issues but their new C6 units were much better. I think they changed suppliers, etc. Hopefully the G8 kits will be built like the C6 stuff.

 

If it turns out to be that bad, there's always the New Era OTRCAI, which is a very nice piece.

 

According to Vararam, they will start shipping next week.

 

So any word on how much radiator movement will be required?

 

3" or right around there

 

Units are being shipped out according to a group buy some of us are in, so it's official, VaraRam has an OTR intake for us GT/GXP owners!
