MY RAM AIR VS. stock setup...How much HP Dif...TRACK RESULTS TOM. I am tired of all the spectulation about if ram air really works or if it is just cold air or just skewed data...I tried to prove that it really does ram air doing a test and the results were about 11in H20 difference over a stock setup under WOT at about 100mph (in my case about half of the drag strip 1/8-1/4)...but there are still doubter and non believers...
So tomorrow i am going to do four passes, 2 with the custom ram air, and two with it fully taped off and only the stock open slit open(stock condition)...
So i am not testing just the cold air or ram air effect i am testing the over performance...
Make your guesses i will have video and pictures tomorrow or early saturday...
I know this wont put the arguement to rest but should at least enlighten some...

my "sux2bu" setup gave me a solid 2mph improvement and i don't care what anybody says. it also keeps my iat's within 5 degrees of ambient temp in the staging lanes. ram air for the win

thats a good looking set up you have i like that a lot. did you make it yourself or can you buy it from somewhere? i think it will make a decent improvement.

nice setup, you should make some extra ponies with that. most of the people that say ram air has no effect try to give some scientific explanation, which makes no sense. good luck
