Default Quick poll- how many of you are using a ram air kit?
How many of you are normally aspirated, and are running, or plan on running one of the ram air kits, and how many of you are running something else?

If you want to get one, don't go out and pay a couple hundred bucks. Do something like the sux2bu setup... and spend maybe 20 bucks.

Best Pics...

best intake setup is lid with either a ftra/ssra/ or sux2bu setup, make sure to seal it up...and if you wanna ditch the ac you can do this

I don't but I am debating it now. My only concern is the reason I have my current engine is because I hydro locked my original LS1 without one of these.
