VR-SC1R: for 2006-2008 Z06 LS7 V8
and 2008 Coupe/Convertible LS3 V8: VR-SC1R
The new VR-SC1R Snake Charmer for the 2006-2008 C6
Z06 and 2008 Corvette C6 Coupe/Convertible LS3 represents the culmination of
input and testing from racing teams, top tuners and a relentless R&D
program. This has led to a product that has proven itself to be the most
powerful Ram air system on the market for the Z06 Corvette. We've found 1/4 mile
improvements of 3.5 tenths and 3.5 MPH with no tuning! Simply plug and play!
Noted improvements in both driveability and fuel mileage are also available. The
unit is made of high quality cross link material and unique with its billet air
meter, green high performance filter, throttle body spacer and redesigned air
Scoop! Changes to the
Front Air Scoop (now standard for all C6 kits):
Floor was raised 1/4 inch - decreased plenum volume for increased velocity
into the filter
Air inlet venturi raised 1/4 inch volume for large cubic inch capacity
engines
Increased flange area for improved scoop to airbox fit
The unit is packed in form fitted foam and shipped in a double wall box to
insure it arrives in the same excellent condition as it leaves our facility.
The Filter
Our filter was custom designed in-house and manufactured by a subcontractor
for Donaldson. It is pleated, washable, and reusable, but that is where
similarities to other filters end. This filter features deeper pleats and more
pleats per inch than other filters, and the peaks and valleys have been opened
to further increase flow capacity per square inch. The result is a very compact,
high flow filter that will out flow K&N filters of similar dimension by over
30% while actually giving better air filtration It has more filter area that is
effective area and not dead space. The original Snake Charmer was designed by
hand but has now been verified by fluid dynamic software. The flow is so well
balanced into the MAF that at full speed (180 mph and over), the airflow is
within 1 mph across the entire circumference of the entrance leading into the
air meter. Even the factory tube can not claim such performance.
NOTE:: Rain water will not affect this unit, nor will
downpours; you will have to submerse the nose of the car to experience any
trouble.
Performance Guarantee
Talk is great, but Show much power will you get? Sitting on a dyno without
using any special programming you should expect 10-15hp from any cold air kit,
but once moving the Snake Charmer will put all the lost MAP pressure back into
the plenum yielding another 17hp @ 60mph and 19-20hp @ 90-100mph. In total, you
can expect 32-37 rear wheel horsepower. Translated into real road performance:
3.5 - 4 tenths off the standing mile time
3.5 - 4 mph faster trap speeds
7-10 mph higher on top speed |
