The B2 system for the C-5 Corvette has evolved several times over the years for added performance and ease of filter maintenance. In the latest evolution,of this record setting system VaraRam has made advancements for both Quality and ease of installation. Customers have asked for it and they have delivered. Here is just some of what we have changed.
The Upper Air box
They have retooled the upper air box completely, The filter flange area has been increased to enclose the new cotton gauze filter properly, The seating radius had been altered to lower the box quarter inch and allow for more uniform compression across the filter surface area. They have added a perimeter gasket around the filter, encapsulating the filter creating an air tight seal every time, so NO leakage! The box material has been changed to more impact absorbent material.
Instructions
Here they spent a great deal of time adding many helpful hints and shortcuts to make the installation fast and easy. They have added ALL NEW pictures, that are large and clear, greatly improving the ease of installation over older kits.
The VR-B2 features:
- Up to 40 HP throughout the RPM range
- Specially designed water trough system helps dissipate any incoming water
- Increases throttle response
- Increases gas mileage 1-3 MPG
- Increases acceleration
- No cutting or drilling
- Comes with VR Super Street filter
- OEM Look and you get to keep your fog lights!!!
In the case of all VR ram air units, true power output will never be able to be measured on a dyne as they are designed on a race track (to be moving). All are tested at varying speeds with multiple multipliers in them in order to function at the desired speed and pressure levels, not noticeable on a static dyno. What it comes down to is during the design process you must determine if you are building a ram air system or a system to pull numbers on a dyno. The reason being, each property PULLING or PUSHING, has its own internal aerodynamic package. The VR-B2 has a multiplier system in it (this will hurt pulling air flow static, due to there shape, this can be negated by using an extra half inch step in front of the filter but then it will delay the ram effect as well). This is similar to a blower drive or turbo multiplier. It is applied to airflow at each given speed. Example: say you had an after market cold air box that at 75 Mph was 90% efficient. The VR is over 100% efficient at that same speed. Now at 100 Mph the cold air is still at 90% (more than likely is has slipped to 88% efficiency, typical of this type of setup). The VR is at well over 100% efficiency and climbing! This is a gain that you will never see on a dyno.
