I don't think you'll find it anywhere new anymore. It hasn't been made in a while. Good luck buddy.

I think the FTRA is about the best out now without taking out the A/C condensor. I know if you do the big Chris1313 it has the most flow but I'm not sure about his smaller version meant for keeping the a/c.

The FTRA sits directly in front of the radiator blocking fresh air coming in from the air dam. The SSRA does not block the radiator like that or affect the A/C. In addition it's made of pliable plastic that is plastic welded and very durable. The opening and overall scoop area that "sucks" air is also much bigger than the FTRA. I currently run the top half of the FTRA with a SSRA lower to help airflow around the radiator, but will eventually switch to the new track only version SSRA once it's finished.

Thanks, I'm glad you like it.

Yep I still make them. I didn't have them listed on that site as I had run out. I didn't want to sell them and then have someone wait a week or two to receive it until they were made.

I can't post the eBay link. That would upset the sponsors and mods.

I've got pics of it. I almost started a new thread with the pics, but I think I'll wait until the revised prototype is completed. It's huge and will be for cars without the AC condenser.

trying to come up with a name for it. I kind've like the SSRA Mega Mouth

Yea that was mine. I took it off the car cause I wanted more efficiency out of my radiator/condensor cause it DOES make the car run hotter and I wanted a better place for trans cooler. But I went to the track and only did 12.9s-13.0s without it compaired to 12.7 when I had it on. LOL so I put it back on...I couldnt live with loosing the 2-3 tenths I gained. Last time up did 12.6 with the ssra on.

Glad to hear some real-world results like that; even if you did call me a fragile little office worker in another thread....hahaha. Seriously though, I'm gonna pick a SSRA up.
