Ram-Air

[CanadaStang]

had ram air on my 97 GT. it did nothing but make me clean the air filter more. When i finally sold the car and took the POS off, an ass load of pebbles, dirt, and leaves came pouring out of the inlet tube. Dont waste your time listening to your dumb friend.

It frightens me to think why you would want to know that.

Umm, lets see... did you see in my list a cai? no i think not. Cai are for mostly for looks, like some of my mods.

Damn, I don't know where I could have gotten the idea that you endorsed CAI's from.....oh, wait here it is.

uhmm... yeah. Ram air doesn't do anything. All a marketing gig to sell more junk. The only thing it does is bring in cold air, thats what cai's are for.

Whether you meant to word it that way or not, you basically said that ram air is crap and a CAI would work better.

I thought there was some consensus that people know how some obvious things work like colderair vs hot air. Easy to describe a process that most everyone already knows how it works.
Impress me by going through the math of actually looking at the temp the air goes through without the air silencer then with a cold air kit. Describe the densities of such and the usefullness of say a 10 degree drop or even 30.
I see alot of people don't even live in areas that you would see a significant difference with cai. Winter is coming along and that proably the most gain you will see with it if you get 20-30 degree days and are even driving the stang.

This statement is all well and good, but unfortunately plenty here have already beat you to it. Several have dyno'd and compared track times with aftermarket CAI's vs. Stock Air box and they don't make a damn bit of difference. Not at the N/A level anyway....which is exactly what I stated!

I am not trying to impress you, don't care to. But I have taken intake temperatures from the stock air box and a fenderwall CAI. The temperatures are the same. Our stock air box pulls air from the same place as the CAI pull from. I have even pulled the snorkel and got the same intake temperature. They are for looks. The make the exhaust note change. And by cooling the air a couple of degrees is not going to change any HP output. Infact, by simply cooling the air, you are not going to gain any HP. Now if you are not N/A and you are S/C, and you run an intercooler, it is not cooling the air so you get more power, it is cooling the air so you can run more boost w/out detonation.

Don't worry...that statement didn't impress me one bit.
