FTRA question.
FTRA question. I'm really interested in the FTRA system, but live in Florida and want to know how much benefit I lose if I don't have the lower ram air plate installed due to the heat in the summer. How about the front seal on an SS model car? Does it increase performance significantly? A couple of us have a trip to dyno day next Sat and I have a feeling someone will try me on the interstate on the way over. I want the extra advantage <img src="graemlins/burnout.gif" border="0" alt="[Burnout]" /> . Thanks in advance.

Re: FTRA question. why wouldnt you install the lower plate? the air coming into it is cooler than what is in the engine bay. i dont own a ss but it did increase performance for me. i dont know by how many h.p but the engine is louder than before the ftra. my track times went down also.

Re: FTRA question. The reason I wouldn't use the lower piece is due to it blocking a large portion of radiator. I would run it the rest of the time. Keep the replies coming.
Re: FTRA question. I just bought a FTRA tonight. I'll install it on Friday. Any tips that could make it go alittle smoother. Seems like a quality product so far. Can't wait to test it out. <img src="graemlins/fluffy.gif" border="0" alt="[Fluffy]" />
