I'm going to the track this weekend to test out my current state of weight reduction and drag lites. Then next weekend (if everything goes as planned) will be going back with only the ram air change. Weather (as predicted now is supposed to be about the same, but I always document that the best that I can regardless.
Is it just me, or is there anybody else that has a real hard time cutting up their car. I just get the creepy crawlies whenever I go to do something that is irreversible. PERSONALLY, i value the cleanness and wholeness of my car.
That said, I do believe that the FRA mod really would help, and that its surely not a wash because of the radiator. The radiator would have to be incredibly hot to warm all the air passing over it briefly and then going into the air box. especially at speed which is the only time this mod would make any difference any way. Hence RAM air. That would be my two pennies.

Radiator heat doesn't matter, because it's not the radiator that the air is passing over. It's the A/C condenser which doesn't get hot, only mildly warm (when in use).
No, just the bumper supports.

outkast only trimmied his bumper supports, so you don't necessarily have to completely remove them if your worried about that. i believe you have to remove the windsheild washer fluid tank though.

Alright, so I caved and did it. And there is a little gain in power, at least on my Ass5000 dyno. Throttle response is up too. About the same as adding the lid for the first time.
