Just do cold air, ram air is pointless when you look at the stupid cost of it. Yea it works a little, but I would never use it...</P>


On a side note, I once saw a Dodge Caravan at the track with an open maibox bolted to his hood for ram air, omg I almost pissed my pants! He ran a 16 flat too lol.</P>

well there is a gain. I brought my stang recently and it had ram air as a mod, but the guy said it had a good gain, but didn't dyno it so well it supposely shaved off a .5 second of my 1/4, but im getting my stang dyno tested soon. So I will tell you if it made a huge difference or not.

There is NO way ram air would be worth anymore than CAI on a dyno, that is unless you tape a leaf blower to the front of it...</P>


But thats for a whole nother thread <IMG src=smileys/smiley2.gif border="0"></P>

the leaf blower wouldn't hurt anything would it? Make sure you put a screen in front of it to catch anything that comes out of it...
