free ram air mod?
free ram air mod? I saw this: http://www.lt1engine.com/techaids/freeramair.html on the net. Did any of you guys try this out? If so how did it work out?
I had a friend who did that, stucked up some water and he was not intentionally trying to hit puddles. Not worth the risk. The most I ever did was my CAI, which is in the same location.
I would think that he would be better off with a LS1 Lid conversion and a sheet metal duct like the LS1 have. That to me would be safer. Also with the scoop its not creating a suction, or vaccume, its just getting air into the well of the car.
I just cut some of the plastic then bent it over in the box to cover the filter somewhat. It only time i sucked up water was in a bad storm when the rods were filled weth standing water.

Verdad Gallardo very interesting, i was thinking it would do get it dirty quickly. also on that site I found a thing for the ls1 lid conversion, it looks pretty simple to do,are there any good gains with that?
i dont even have that cover on there any more. i know youll all say have you sucked up water and the answer is no. and honestly if youre that worried about it you can do what the ricers have been doing all along and use an aem bypass valve in there and itll draw the water out.

I did this little mod. Instead of cutting a hole and installing the metal peice. I modified the stock air dam and cut a hole. I've had no problem with water, ect.
