Which Intake Are You Leaning Toward?

1) Hallteck C7 Stinger CKN CF

2) Corvette C7 Stingray Cold Air Intake System

Those the 2 I have been seeing..

Vararam hasnt show anything yet. Just that they are making one

We are waiting until there are more options and then we will perform some independent testing on our dyno to verify the claims. Many companies are currently developing cai systems, just because its the first to market doesn't mean it will be the best. R&D takes time. Cai systems add very little h.p. gains in the grand scheme of things, wait till spring time to see what is going to be available and which ones really make some power across the board, not just on the top end.

I saw a video clip where they had K&N build a prototype CAI and put it into a new C7. It gained about 20 HP on the prototype unit.

The K&N is way overstated...there is simply no way you can engineer something that fast when the true masters of the craft are still engineering...

I'm waiting for CAI.....or Vararam

I agree Glen, K&N is the McDonalds of CAI. Sure McDonalds sells a lot of burgers but they are by far not the best.

I'm sure like in the C5/6 world Haltech will be the best and the vararam behind it but with a huge sacrifice in quality, unless they step up their game.
