If i ever have extra money id want a vararam air intake

Are those vararam intakes any good? I've seen them at parts joints before but I've never actually seen anyone that had one or heard anything from anyone using one.

i'm doing pretty damn good already. have a full fresh h/c/i on the way, along with a new tranny, shifter, new full exhaust and 4.10's out back. also have everything needed to do my 5 lug swap and mount my brand new wheels and tires that are still sitting in the box.

EDIT: oh yea, and full suspension too.

This year:

powder coat blower and valve cover
paint or powdercoat brake calipers
heat exchanger bought and installed
lowering springs bought and installed

If there is time and money left over, I'd like to start getting together my power stuff, but I probably won't install any of it until next year. I'd also like to go to the track and get a baseline run to go with my baseline dyno numbers...then I'll know how I improve.

haha, you're more then welcome to take it for a ride when everything is said and done. maybe not right away though, it's still gonna have the old king cobra clutch i already have in it. i'll hopefully get the rest of the summer out of it and throw something else in come winter time. i need some kind of rev extender too, because it's gonna have the anderson b41 cam in it, and i need to rev it to at least 64-6500 to make full use of the cam.

i'm stoked as hell though, because the car's gonna screaaaammmm.

the Chevy:

rebuild the blown tranny with Z-pak clutches, "The Beast" sun gear shell and Corvette servos. weld in the new cab corners, patch the door skins, replace the fenders, and get new tires for the 18" AR chromes..

the Jeep: 5 speed swap and change gears to 4.10's. everything else i wanted to do to it has been done over the past couple weeks.... 94 cherokee interior swap, sprayed grille and headlight bezels black to match the truck and replaced the broken right side bumper end cap. removed all side mouldings. Grant GT steering wheel and horn button with Jeep on it on order, clear corners on order.. oh and i need to find a 96 - 00 Jeep 2.5 MPFI engine and fab up a turbo kit for it..

I think I got it

FWI for the GP and maybe some exhaust work (Down pipe, cat back, headers if money is right)

The beast gets a new cab corner, fix the exhaust leak, a new cat and cut out the pre cat, and maybe some add a leafs in the rear

Max: Rebuilt tranny, Exedy Stage 1 Clutch, Fidanza flywheel. (done in Feb. 2009) New leather boots for the shifter and eBrake, as well as an i30 leather wrapped eBrake handle (thanks Neil!) New Momo Race lightweight steering wheel, with custom remote located cruise controls. (Done last week..) Upgraded sub amp from Alpine MRP-M350 to a MRP-M500, installing this weekend. P10 headrests, but I think Im pulling them back out.. looking for a perforated leather i30 black interior. Completing the LED conversion on ALL lights. Possible trunk-work in the near future. Underhood polishing and detailing.. etc. It's always something! lol

Blazer: Rear window spoiler from Lund.. I think thats about it, so far.

GSX-R: Fixed it over the winter, following an accident last September. It's back on the road now, already ridden a few times this year! Spiked bar ends FTMFL!!
