I've got the Raptor hood with the functional ram air intake, you can check my signature for pics and whatnot. As for the functionality (functionalness, that can't be a word, LoL) of the intake, for what it's worth, I was dynoing here recently, and thought I'd see if it made a difference, so I pulled the whole deal and let the engine get a straight shot of air. I gained only 1 RWHP and lost something like 4 RWTQ by doing so. I used to have a Direct Flo and I didn't notice any difference between the two. Seems like the Direct Flo had a little better torque down low but the ram air intake pulled harder up top. Might just be my imagination though. The reason I keep it on is because I don't have to worry near as much about hydrolocking the motor. I've heard a very few, rare horror stories about people with the FRA or FTRA and scooping up water, not a problem with this intake and it also picks up air thats in the air, not right off the pavement, which is usually a few degrees hotter. Is it worth $200 or $300 or whatever they want over a lid? I dont think so, but SCC jacked me around for almost a month on getting my hood to me, my lid was cracked in the wreck so I would have had to have spent another $100 anyways, and I got this thing on a ridiculous discount, so I went ahead and grabbed it.
