Default Just the Facts!

After a recent dyno run our results are when your car gets hot you WILL lose RWHP and as much as 18 RWHP. We found this by just opening the hood versus closing the hood ( During Dyno Pulls ) So what that is telling you is the factory intake is choking you down and when hot becomes more pronounced. The solution we found was installing the Callaway "HONKER" Cold Air Induction System, this bolt on does what it claims and our tests have proven this to be FACT! Dyno Graph Below. To clarify, the graph is just showing restriction numbers only! We'll post new graph with before and after graph of "Honker" install soon!

Thanks,

What is the difference between this and a Air Charger with a Haltech Pro Filter.

I will tell you all that I live 2 hours away and have had MTI do some work on my C6 Z-51 and they do a awesome job. They are professional and their shop is awesome. I would put Reese *** against any tuner out their as far as experience and knowledge and he is a road racer himself. You probably won't get a lot response on the forum because I know they have been overloaded with business but if you call them I know that Reese will return your call. They are a great organization and you want go wrong if you use them.

Steve, just to be clear, I think you just confirmed that the VaraRam will also "save" you up to 18 horsepower
