Btw, my results with Chris' ram air made for AC...this is with the DA corrected both before and after...I ran .178 seconds faster and 1.534 mph faster. Nothing else on the car was changed. IMO, this was a bolt on very well worth doing. My AC is now gone and I now have the ram air made for no AC.

Chris - For us guys that want to keep a/c, do you think it'd be worth while to notch the upper radiator support? Would a 2" notch allow you to open the ram air up or would you still run into issues near the hood latch?
I'm just thinking there has to be some gains over this FTRA.

what i have seen and tested is
FTRA ...................... 1(SI)-1.1(cam only)mph
ac version Ram air.......1.5(SI)-1.7(cam only)mph
non ac version........... 2.5-2.7(cam only)mph...
also the top of the hood latch, bumper support, washer resv, are not in the way the only thing that needs to be cut is the V portion of the hood latch, it comes down right in front of the ram air and blocks alot of flow(25-30%)...very easy to cut and remove and it is still very solid...

I'm interested in your larger ram air setup without the a/c condenser. BUT.. how does the air filter stay secure on that particular kit? From looking at the pics, I didn't see a filter tray it usually sits on. It also looks like the filter will fall right out of the bottom.
