Anyone actually have the old KarKraft ram air kit?

[The_Screwdriver]

Was looking for anyone who actually has the old KarKraft kit. I know they don't make them anymore, but I might have found someone locally. With this "kit", you cut a hole in your hood and install some fancy ducting. The ducting has a flapper on it that opens and closes. They duct goes down the hood and attaches to the air box.

Any issues with rain or water... supposedly has a 3 stage water system. Any problem with the vacuum operated flaps? I know it was pricey when they sold it... how did it hold up?

Thanks,
Jim

Just get a Mach1 hood and buy the shaker assembly. Dont do that other ghetto crap.

:OT: I remember the old Karkraft ram-air thingy - it was like the vacuum attachment from your shop vac, hanging out the chin of your car.

You're thinking of the infamous "puddle scooper" system.

This one makes your hood scoop functional. The only real problem I can see with it is the scoop needs to be reinforced.

Also it's only purpose is to make the scoop functional, not to add any power.

I always thought it looked like a cool idea though, give the hood scoop a purpose.

I think this one has the 35th anniversary scoop that has bolts in the middle of the scoop. Not around the sides though. I've heard of the later scoops buldging in the center and maybe the bolts in the center makes it more stable.
