FTRA install question
#6
pm FTRA he will let you know this has been talked over many times...your functional stock ram air does basically nothing over just a stock formula...
could even try it at the track both ways and i guarantee it will be faster with a seal...would make that bet any day...ram air hoods are just for looks, not the best way to deliver air "ram air"

Installed it today. Found something interesting. My car does not have the AC air deflector that requires a cut. I have had the car for almost 3 years and just found this out. My water temperature at operating range was always in the high 190's. After the install, at idle once the car was warmed up, temperatures went up to 204.
I am very pleased with the performance of the FTRA. Before install, air intake temperatures would increase 10-20 degrees while sitting at a stop light, only to decreased once the car got moving again. Today, the air intake temperatures remained stable during driving, as well as idleing. This is a very good thing.
Overall impressions thus far, the car feels like it pulls harder in the upper rpms, which is what its supposed to do. Not sure when I will get to the track, but im sure the results of dropping a tenth or 2 is very achievable.
