Theres no doubting that cooler air contributes a lot to performance, its a well-known fact... I'm not so sure 1/2 second drop off from 60-100 is possible, but you are talking about a time period that is already like 5-6 seconds long for a stock GT, so maybe its possible?

Either way... im not losing my headlights for that. Someone, maybe midwestautogear or something, makes a ram-air CAI that basically goes straight from the intake forward to the grill. Better solution.

You have to use your foglamps as your headlights. People with GT foglamps might be able to get away with it. Hopefully cops don't notice.

If you do not want to lose your headlights use the agent47 brake vents that go in the bottom of the bumper for the gt/cs and they might have it for gt bumper and then run your tubing from their to your intake.

And yes it works they have been doing "ram air" since like the 60's.

faster you go, the more air that enters..

Not to cause this thread to take a turn...

But ram air DOES NOT work, plain and simple. The most ram air does is make air readily available, so the engine can easily suck it in by having wind speed provide the air. Either way, the engine has to suck it in, nothing is bring 'ram'd into the engine - at all.

This is a good read.... http://www.hitechforum.com/~vetteguru/ramair/

The ram air principle was patented by Rolls-Royce in 1927
Fed the supercharger on their 2239 c.i.d. aircraft engine.
At the 300+ mph these competition planes flew, they estimated a 10% increase in horsepower.
