JAAM ram air or FTRA?
I don't understand how the JAAM "seals" when you have 3 big gaping holes in it? The BGRA sealed much better and had a shaped Venturi design. Has Fast Toys done any independent testing or are you just going by the inventors claims? Thanks,

The BGRA came with 3 rubber plugs to fill the holes on under side of air box,after you install kit inside nostrils.
The bottom part of the JAAM kit that uses the bottom nostrils does not force air in, only directs it toward airbox.(fasttoys website)

All test info was supplied by the manufacturer. They conducted tests with a pressure guage installed in the intake tract. Unfortunately, the tracks are closed and there is snow on the ground here so we cannot conduct any testing of our own.
If someone wants to do before and after testing at the track, email us and we can make arrangements to give you a discount in exchange for your time.

i would take you up on that if we had a better track here, ive heard its just ok. and if it was open on more nights because i think its only open on friday night and i work then. but if someone else would do it, that would be really nice to know!
We highly doubt anyone is going to purchase both kits to see which is better. We really don't see them as competitors. People that have WS6 cars that didn't already buy the FTRA did so because they wanted to keep their hood functional. For those people, the JAAM is the only choice. Thanks

according to the FTRA, the hood doesnt get enough air going through it to make a difference. it says that the air goes up and over the hood and hits the windshield and misses the hood all together. but then again, thats what the company trying to sell the product is saying. just wondering if anyone had some experience of their own.
I hated not using the functionality of my hood but after the reading the aricle of some testing done by GMHTP heat soak and the deflection of air made me go with the FTRA.
