Default Looking for ideas on air filters or ram air for 4150 and 4500s

Im running a Victor Jr manifold with a 4500 throttle body. Im trying to figure out weather I should be looking into a traditional carb style air filter or weather I should plan on building a ram air setup. Which makes more power? Is the added weight of the ram air ducts worth the weight?

Im about to cut the radiator support out of the way and rebuild it from chromoly so Id like to have an idea before I start. Im also running a formula front bumper and a 5" ws6 VFN pin on hood. Thanks! If anyone has pics of their setups please post up!

Here is mine. It is a fast 4150 and a EV hat with tubing I bought from jegs. Filter is down low up front. Depends on what hood you have. I have the sunoco ext and it fits with no problem.




Edit- Just noticed what hood your running. Sorry little slow today.

Most of these intakes will make more power with some spacer under the TB so if you have room I would try to get an inch or more under it.
