Default Quick Question

Hey guys,

Im such a NEWBIE when it comes to cars. So I had a quick question, that I cant seem to find an answer for: Can Ram Air and a cold air intake be done at the same time?

Not that I have the money for ANY of this, but in the future I was thinking of adding SLPs FlowPac and maybe get a ram air hood + kit (which would include the air box). Does the airbox interfere with the FlowPac? Or would getting a Ram Air Hood that works with your stock setup be better?

What about adding K&N's FIPK to the mix? Or am I just talking about the same thing?

You can use ram air and CAI at the same time. Some WS6/SS owners do that. Do not buy a ram air capable hood for the "ram air" effect, buy it if you want the weight savings and/or look. If you just get a simple CAI (SLP CAI, super sucker ram air, fast toys ram air, etc) you can call it good. Many will steer you away from the SLP flowpac, most of SLP's stuff is a little pricey for what it is and you can get all of those components chepaer (with as good or possibly better quality) elsewhere.

Edit: Also, if you have not done so, read through all of JRP's noob information. Its kind of long, but full of great info about specific mods.
