Austin Ram Air (SSRA) Kit ???? Anyone have it?
How safe is it as far as sucking up water compared to the FTRA?
How much HP could an SS hope to pick up with this?
How does it compare to the competitors?
Sorry for the barrage of questions
Cheers

If you already have the FTRA just keep that. If you are still just stock right know, your money could be spent on other mods. I suggest a lid+FRA and cut-out. for you first mods. I gained .25 at the track, and it only cost me 160$ for both mods. Any ? pm me.

Thank you for the replies. I am at a loss, because I thought I read of a kit that made the stock SS hood alot more efficient.... ???
Here in Fl we get some monster downpours, so I will have to research a little more as to what is the safer route to go.

ftra here, and you only have to worry about heat sink when you are sitting in the staging lanes. but once you start moving, it gets back down. the ftra is a better design than the slp cai and the ssra. although Al makes a great product with the ssra, the ftra is proven to be a better product. and cheaper!

I have the SSRA. Daily driven in Miami with plenty of rain.
I don't think the SSRA is worth any tangible ET (.1 sec if any), but it does improve MPH traps by about 1mph.
I've kept it on the car even though it's fallen off at the track (I made some modifications so that it mounts to the car in a more solid fashion- longer screws and I've fastened the top half to the bottom half with some screws).
I'm still not sure if blocking off the SS hood proves any benefit- I've driven it with it both blocked off and open.
In the end, I think all the FRA devices are all the same. The difference between them is minimal. They all shove air up into the lid.
