Id like your input on a couple of performance mods I've been experimenting with (RIPP high performance coil packs/Vararam CAI)

[prestigious-iceberg77]

So these are marketed as boosting HP, torque, and even gas mileage. It sounded great, so I shot them on my Ram Rebel '19 (5.7 non-eTorque). Unfortunately, my results were underwhelming. My quarter-mile time actually got slower and I didnt notice any changes in fuel efficiency either

Also, not to rant but dealing with RIPP's customer service was frustrating. Their website only seems to show glowing 5-star reviews which didnt match up with my experience. Has anyone else tried these? Maybe I missed something.

Now on a more positive note, Ive had a much better experience with the Vararam CAI. The performance boost is noticeable, my gas mileage has improved and honestly it just looks awesome under the hood. Big on this one!

Have any of you tested these mods or have suggestions for other upgrades?

I tried a different supercharger on my truck and got better power but no big change in gas mileage. Customer service was okay for me. i haven't used Vararam CAI yet but it sounds good.

Good to know the supercharger worked out for power gains, even if the mileage didn't improve much. The Vararam CAI has really been a game-changer for me. Better mileage and a noticeable performance boost, and it looks slick under the hood. If you're considering it, I'd say it's worth a shot! Let me know if you give it a try.

Vararam CAI has been great, noticeable performance boost, better mileage and it looks sharp under the hood.

I achieved the same results with the Vararam CAI. Improved performance, mileage, and a clean appearance. The intake outperformed the coil packs I tried. I've tracked a steady 1.5-2 mpg gain. Did you pair yours with a throttle body or tune, or leave it stock? I'm considering a tuner next or might wait for the exhaust swap.
