Default whats better? cold vs. ram

Ram air seems to be mostly popular on the trans ams because of the WS6 version but i think it's cool to see Ram air on the mustangs. I know ram air is effective because my friend bought a 98 trans am with ram air and it gives between 10-15hp more than without.

<FONT face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color=blue size=3>Definately go with ram air. If you think about it, cold air only takes air from your engine bay and makes a less restrictive and more direct flow. Ram air gives it even more direct flow, and restrics it even less.You are taking cold air from the surface of your hood (or wherever you mount it) and that air is pretty cold. Just like sticking your hand out the window, it gets cold. Ram air maybe more work, but you are getting more performance and bad *** styling</FONT>

Anyone have problems with throttle response after putting in a CAI? Like lagging throttle and engine revs when you press the gas? What's the deal. I'm switching from my enging bay cone to Cold air this spring and don't want to incur any problems, I'm also going to 75mm MAF and 65mm TB.</P>

The only time ram air is effective is if you are doin 80+ miles per hr....The first half of the race and your cold air does just as much.....ram air is over rated.....the amount of air the engine consumes you have to be goin damn fast before you actually start to build pressure.,.

60MPH+, extremely effective if you are looking for that extra tenth or two. <IMG src=smileys/smiley11.gif border="0"></P>
