My guess is that the car would 'tune' since the MAF would read the additional air flow, so there for the PCM would have the injectors add more fuel to compensate, no? At least with part throttle. As I typed that, I reminded myself that WOT runs in open loop.

Data from MM SSRA Well I felt ambitious today and I installed the MM and went for a 30-45min ride of wot, highway, and city. Ill give you my conclusion first before I share my data. Conclusion is just what I thought it would be...takes up to much breathing room for my taste. So in other words I have a brand new SSRA Megamouth still for sale.
Heres the data...
30-45min ride of wot, highway, and city. The IAT through the MM were 86f - 89f. Coolant temps were anywhere from 206f - 217f. Mostly between 208f - 212f. Off the highway my high speed fans never turned off and that was the deal breaker for me. I took some pics of the install incase anyone wants to see. I will be changing this back to my smaller SSRA ASAP.

Well to give you a little info...I installed the megamouth with my transcooler on the radiator. It fit fine but I didnt like how much breathing space it took away from the radiator. I didnt even attempt to see what kind of temps I would get...I took the megamouth right off the car and put back my smaller ssra. I have a perfect street/strip car with that setup.

The whole point of my posts was to get data on coolant temps with this big of a ram air. Now that I know...ill re install the smaller ssra. But hell no your big cooler would not fit with the mm but it would fit great with my smaller ssra im going back to.

Well heres a fact...I was getting 20-21mpg with the smaller ram air and I ended up with 17mpg with the bigger one. I know there are tons of variables and its tough to put the blame on the bigger ram air but lat time I got 17mph was when it was colder out.

My coolant temps ran 190 pretty consistantly with !FRA and the most I've seen with my CHRS1313 AC Ram Air is 192. This was all read through my aeroforce. Of course I haven't had a chance to drive it in the last month with this wonderful 95+ degree weather that feels like 110 with the humidity, so I'm sure i would have seen higher numbers in that weather. My tranny cooler is mounted dope style btw.
