Default Ram Air

I was looking at a few bolt on mods and noticed for what ram air promises and how much it costs it seems pretty unbelieveable. Do the ram air packages like the SLP or the fast toys really work for what hp they say? Is this worth the bucks?

The FTRA style ram airs are well worth the money.

There all very good. Each one has their downside. Consider the Supersucker when your comparing them. It actually scoops in the air and is made of Black ABS plastic.

Anyone who has these want to post their reviews of them?? They all look affective but they kind of seem to block the radiator... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" /> ..where can I find the supersucker?

Back in the "good ol' days" we used to due the "Free Ram Air" mod (FRA).

Now it looks like everyone just wants to spend $$MONEY$$ by purchasing the FTRA, SLP, Supersucker, etc, which are basically derivatives of what we used to do for free.

Oh Well .... the times they are a changin

Ron,

The Supersucker can be found at many of the Sponsors listed here. Call your favorite vendor to see if they stock it. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
