Well, I got the Vararam to work on a 2004. It is awesome. Period. I am now running speed density and my IAT's were at 65 degrees at the highest reading. Some pics:

The only modifications needed were deleting the MAF and going speed density and replacing the radiator hose with a bendable one to allow for more clearance. With my current mods of cam, longtubes, no cats, and the stall set not to lockup on the dyno, I put down 360 whp. Now for some heads...

Sweet. Doesn't sound too difficult. Evidently there are a bunch of people that aren't very creative, because a lot of them say it just will not work. Probably because they want to sell their own version of an OTRCAI instead. I would have gone Pontiac blue instead of orange

Who says it won't work cause they want to sell their own version? Svede1212 on the other board listed why it would/wouldn't work and gave suggestions on how to remedy that. Fact is Svede1212 makes an intake that drops right into an 04 and still uses a MAF, and looks a lot better.....lol.

Is your tranny cooler the size of your condensor?!?!?? LOL....I have a fairly large tranny cooler acting as a power steering cooler and have zero issues....it does not hang very far down behind the grilles.
