FTRA, from what I hear it is a really good product, but if your looking for a massive gain from it... Ram Air is a myth on these cars IMHO. The FTRA does however seal the hood to the airlid though.

if you feel like modding the heck out of it to get it to fit right the Volant works good with the ram air hoods...

My brother and I did a test video where we raced between doing different mods. One was a SLP Ram Air System. We were pretty suprised by the result of the Ram Air system.

I'm still using the BGRA I've had for a number of years. Since they haven't been made for 2 or 3 years, they're probably not a good option unless you happen to find one for sale at a decent price.

There are more variables than that to it though. Some cars will respond better pending on how a car runs respectfully. There are quite a few differences between your car and his also. One has a LS6 manifold which is a BIG difference, and putting a ported tb on the LS6 mani is a must but might give you maybe 5whp. I do give you alot of credit for that video though. Not alot of people are making videos, testing out products other than companies.
Nice bro

You can get your TB p&p by "thesilverghost" I believe or "damian". Its only $65. The SLP ram air system is available at many of our sponser's web sites. I really like MarylandSpeed.com Personally I'd go with a Fast Toys Ram Air or Super Sucker Ram Air because of their popularity on this site. Members on this site have a lot of good things to say about both.
