RE: Mach vs Z28
i have raced a z28 before i got my s/c and i won that race.I would suppose that in the end it may come down to the driver but if the drivers are equal i would say the mach shouldnt have too much of a problem,not trying to take anything away from the camaros im sure there nice.

maby,but the mach is said to be underated and the ram air does and hp,not a great deal but every bit helps.Hard to find the true dyno numbers with out a fan or something that can direct high mph winds into the shaker.In the end it will be decided on the street and not by numbers.
In any case should be real fun for the guys racing.

In any case, I cannot imagine a ram air system on a modern car (due to the piping) adding anything more than 5-6 HP, and I think that is being fairly optimistic. Its not like the 60s where it dumped it basically straight thru the filter and into the engine. Even in that case the difference was nothing monumental.

I really dont think your going to see anything noticable until you get into the extreme end of your speedometer (120 +). That air still has to go thru the maze of piping to get it thru the mam and into the engine.
In any case, I cannot imagine a ram air system on a modern car (due to the piping) adding anything more than 5-6 HP, and I think that is being fairly optimistic.

Glad to hear you liked your test drive! [8D] As for the shaker, it IS METAL! It's cast aluminum and is produced from an original casting of the 1969 version.
