my Ram Air Actually works now!!!!

bloopbloob · Apr 6, 2008

i got tired of the air filter not fitting properly, so tweaked it a bit and then sealed the seams with butyl tape, and also shortened the hose on my march ram air kit.

All i can say is WOW! never thought it would make much of a difference but it really does at high speeds....
the car pulls MUCH harder in 5th gear than it did before, could tell a big difference from about 2500 to almost 5000 rpms and it was still pulling pretty good.

anyways, i've given the ram air kit a pretty bum rep, but it actually suprised me today, so i just thought i'd share.

i was reffering to the gapping hole in his window

forgot about that

anyways. wish i could get a measurable hp difference from this, cuz it seriously feels like maybe a 30hp difference over when it had "gaping holes" in the intake track... can't stress enough how impressed i am.

30 horse is alot............................ keep telling yourself that.

S&B · Apr 7, 2008

my exhaust gave me 50 hp, so a ram air is good for 30

MAC'n89Blckstng · Apr 7, 2008

Thats true, I just put a 100mph club sticker from the local track on my SHO and it got like 25 horse so I guess thats right.

bloopbloob · Apr 7, 2008

i know its a lot. and i'm not saying that it IS that big of a difference, but thats honestly how it feels, and it wouldn't surprise me if it really was. no real difference at all until around 170km/h but after that, it pulls WAY harder than it used to. i'm not just makin up numbers to sound cool. all my other mods i have done have not impressed me that much as far as feeling much of a hp difference. this one has. i would guess that my tb, smog removal, UD pullies, C&L intake tube, and MAF (all done at the same time) MAYBE added 10hp. i really don't think i'm exaggerating this at around 30hp.... but whatever. flame on.

km/h your computer broken??

I would be interested to see if your getting any boost at that speed do you have a vac/boost gauge?

prolly not but it would be neat to see what the effect is

Swat I was thinking. After what I think to be 100 mph, if I am translating that right, the wind velocity can get pretty severe. Might be seeing a little bit. MAYBE one pound.. doubt it though...

bloopbloob · Apr 7, 2008

ok, well for all you imperial folk ... i'm talking about between about 105mph and 150mph where i notice the difference... no gauge or anything to go off of, but at that speed i think there would have to be some kind of pressure on the air going in.

Your telling me that you drive 150mph in your mustang !!!

Im moving to canada

bloopbloob · Apr 7, 2008

OF COUSE NOT .... BUT, if i did, it would have been on a closed course, obviously. but the speedo only goes to 230km/h so after that it's just a guess of about 240+... (IF i were to ever think of doing such a thing)

the mounties would have your ass
