Vararam HAS GIVEN CAMARO OWNERS WHAT THEY HAVE BEEN asking for!

The new V8 Camaro system from VR represents a major leap forward in terms of real world performance delivered with the quality that Camaro owners and tuners alike have come to expect. “Quite simply, this is the Most Powerful ram air system we have ever produced for a Road Car.”

This is the most powerful induction system of any kind for the new 2010-2011 Camaro. Our competition will talk, but they will not outflow it or outrun it. They will never outperform it!

Every aspect of induction technology has been used in this system.

The days of a "cone with a pipe" are dead,
because there is no air colder than Ram Air! ™

See below for more details.

Features
• Adjustable mass airflow meter housing -allowing you to richen the mixture
manually if needed for fine tuning!
• Helmholtz Resonance System designed into the unit- this is used to reflect the sound
signature back into the intake manifold to boost mid-range TORQUE and
HORSEPOWER by 1.5 - 1.6%.
(this is a form of Ram Air tuning)
• Flow capacity from 1400CFM – 2000CFM+
• NO TUNE and TUNE models - SUB FEATURES BELOW
• One piece seamless MAF / filter housings-for smooth laminar airflow
• Guaranteed gains of 3tenths or 3mph through the ¼ mile with the NO TUNE unit,
and 4-5 tenths and 4-5mph with the TUNE models!
• Engineered to produce a broad power curve, not just peak horsepower. We gave up
top end power to produce maximum torque & power under the curve from the air
horn design & resonance tuning.
(See dyno charts)
• True ram affect -reducing intake temperatures inside the intake manifold up to
20 deg "BELOW" ambient temperatures at WOT and -5 deg at cruising speeds!
Data log verified with EFI Live for a 4 - 5% boost in power over static dyno
hp numbers. (See below)
• Quick and easy installation, no cutting or drilling on the car install time is
about 10min!
• NO WATER Issues! – The high mount location ensures safe
operation in all weather conditions.
• Construction - Rotary molded and vacuum formed hybrid construction allowing
for production to precision machine tolerances.
• The Venturi System creates thrust while reducing unwanted turbulence keeping
the MAF readings clean even at speeds of 150mph!
• The air horn is a product of months of work in on-road testing to create the best
horn for quick windup from 600RPM to 5800RPM ("Tune Models" use a higher
RPM biased horn for more peak flow) Its converging and diverging shapes
and sharp angles are the work of the latest in CFD - the end result is an air
induction system that will accelerate airflow to the far side of 100% of road
speed at the throttle body bell mouth (The exact number is our secret).
We have detuned this system three times to tame it for the street.
• The filter - Custom made to VR specs featuring low pressure drop with specific
flow rates and filtration that meets OEM requirements. Washable and reusable
– with a Green filter cleaning kit!
• Materials –VR High Density material (Reducing unwanted heat soak by 8 - 12%
over conventional plastics and up to 100%+ compared to metal.) Military spec
ABS featuring a flat black sand blast finish for that muscle car look. Billet
aluminum rear hose clamp ring molded into the ABS for extreme strength.
• A Multiple Patent Pending design!
• Guaranteed Power & Performance gains!

"No Tune" Models have seen Gains of 20-32HP / 22-40+ft lbs of Torque
through the entire curve on the Dyno! Documented and data logged.
Using EFI Live & wideband systems to verify air fuel ratio, "TUNE" models
have reached 35-40HP on dyno with stock cars!
Modified cars can produce more power!
(call us with your combination)

Now for what you will not see on the dyno "Ram Air in action"

We plumbed directly into the intake manifold in order to give you a true intake
manifold plenum temperature reading from inside the plenum itself.
During this test ambient temperature was 79-82 deg F.

What you will notice in the EFI logs is that the VR system dropped the intake plenum temps 20 deg BELOW ambient tempuature at Wide open throttle from 0 to 60 mph. At cruise 30-40mph we averaged about 3-4 deg below ambient temps
You will also notice the manifold pressure of this "No Tune" restricted system 14.8 VS 14.6 for stock.
The MAF flow rates rose from 42.43 grams per second on the dyno to a whopping 55 grams per second on the road, same car same day just after the car was taken off the dyno.

That's a density altitude change of -1,250 feet and a flow increase of over 20% on a 0-60mph run alone. You will never see any of this on the dyno, so we data logged it for the world to see. (no claims, just facts) Thats over a 4% increase in HP and Torque on top of your dyno gains from a density change alone!

This is why at Vararam we never really care about peak dyno numbers,
we develop our systems on the track and road.
Our systems are Engineered for the real world!
In the new Camaro system we designed a broad power curve into the system to make sure the new Camaro unit would also dominate the dyno-drags as well.

Here are the logs from EFI Live

With VR plumbed into the plenum


Factory


F.A.Q. (Why not just look at the air temperature in factory MAF?)
The MAF is a pass-through, not a sealed cavity.
The air molecules cannot compact and build pressure here!
This is why you must log the temps inside the intake plenum.

So how much total power does a VR make when the dyno and the on road/track performance are combined?

Ok, drag racers! Get out your density altitude to Horsepower calculators!

Each system is setup with a different combination, "Tune" vs "NoTune".
We do this to keep the E38 computer in tolerance so that they are easy to tune or require no tune at all.

We have listed the general specs that each has been restricted to.

No Tune Model Tune Model

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Peak Manifold Pressure 14.8 PSI 14.9-15.0 PSI

At cruise 30-40 mph 3-5 deg F 3-5 deg F
At WOT 18-22 deg F Max 20-28 deg F Max
(temps drop by 15 deg almost instantaneously once you are at WOT in any gear)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Power added from Ram Effect + 4-5% HP & Torque + 5-6% HP & Torque
(add this to your dyno numbers for total power)


Here is an example of Total Power Added

Example #1 - 2010 6speed SS with a VR 398 rear wheel hp and 401 Torque simply add 4-5% to both = 417 rear wheel hp, 421 Torque (stock car pulled 382hp / 378 Ft.lbs.) for a solid 35 HP/43Ftlbs gain in total power for a "No Tune" system.

FAQ: (what if I didn't gain much on the Dyno?)
What if the car stock pulled 365hp& 365ft lbs to the wheels? You install the VR system and only see 10hp and 15 ftlbs on the dyno because the ECU was not allowed the time to dial in properly for whatever reason. That's ok now add the 5% Ram Effect for full power delivered.

365hp + 10 =375 + 5% = 393hp (a 28hp gain)
365Tq + 15 = 380 + 5%= 399ftlbs (a 34 ftlbs gain)

With no tuning, it makes no difference - you will still reach our performance guarantee no matter what,
while the other guys are still sucking HOT AIR!

You can see why we really don't care about the Dyno
as much as actual on the road/track performance.

What to expect on the road:
We designed the Camaro system to produce larger gains in Torque than Horsepower by using resonance tuning. The 2010 Camaro's weight (3,800+ lbs) meant maximum acceleration gains would be found by concentrating the power under the curve in the 4300-5500RPM range, giving up the last 300rpm. (Reference resonance tuning)
GM did a good job of making a cold air box from the factory regardless of what the rest of the aftermarket may tell you (Their box material is far better for heat resistance and they actually did give a good hole to breath cool air from)

So weather you gain 15-20 hp &20-25ftlbs of Torque or you already have another company's "COLD AIR/HOT AIR", you will still see a substantial gain in performance by switching to the VR.
We will top any Torque number by 8ftlbs even if we make the same peak hp. We will carry a broader, fatter curve by as much as 8-10hp under the curve (4000- 5500 RPM) - from resonance tuning and air horn design.
The system will also deliver another 15-19hp at speed from the ram effect from the drop in the air density inside the manifold, there will also be a small pressure rise as well, reducing pumping losses quickening windup.

The total power that this system is capable of required VR to
detune the system three time during its development by restricting
the system to a level far below its full potential.

Total power delivered for a "NO Tune" system on a stock OEM car
Once you combine the dyno and ram effect gains on the road, the Torque is +45 ftlbs, Horsepower is +35hp over factory stock to the wheels! "Tune" models will gain about 10 more peak HP & Torque.
(Modified motor cars will gain more)

At the track you will see greater gains in E.T. than your trap speed indicates from the broad power curve.

ex. 1/4 mile - 4-5 tenths and + 3-3.5mph in trap speed! ("NO TUNE" MODEL)

That is what a broad Torque and power curve will do for you!
.......IF YOU CAN HOOK IT UP, (traction is your next problem, we don't sell that)

WE WILL FOREVER CHANGE THE WAY YOU LOOK AT AIR INDUCTION SYSTEMS!
