Default Ordered ram air kit
I was looking on ebay and won a ram air kit for my mustang. It makes the existing hood scoop functional. I have to cut some holes in my hood to put it in but i think it will be worth it. What type of horespower should i expect to get from it. The ad said 25 but im skeptical.

You honestly probably won't see much, if any. You probably won't gain any performance either....maybe a little on the top end, but I don't see it doing much. You'd have to be going hella fast to really force air into the engine.

I hope you didnt pay to much for it. You will get no gain at all from it unless you are going over 130mph.

Well...at least it didn't cost more than a "Nice" cold air intake.
