Shaker Hood Scoop

[1994Vib.RedGT]

I saw in the new Mustang Enthusiast magazine that CDC has put out a shaker system for the 94-95s with the stock manifold. I was wondering, How much power gain would you see with the shaker, and where would the power gain be? Ive heard some say it dosent really kick in until 80+ MPH, and others say power gains across the board. I think shakers look badass but i dont know if it is worth a. the money, and b. keeping the stock manifold on

its not really worth the 800 bucks they want to sell it for. Stock manifold is a big restriction, you will see more gains from a performer than you would the hood.

There was a thing on the TV awhile back about the Trans Am ram air hoods... They stuck one in a wind tunnle and the air was actually getting sucked out from teh scoop a little. Might be different for the Mach 1 style since it sits on the top of the hood instead of the front.

Ram air doesn't make any "real gains" until you get to about 1/2 of the speed of sound; No matter what the design.

Here is a link to a page that sells ram air kits. Even they admit that ram air is only effective at high speeds. (only a .176 psi increase in air pressure at 100MPH) You will probably gain 1-2 HP with .176 psi, and it's for a extremely brief period of time.

Probably the same gain you will get with a CAI.

I doubt you would see any noticeable performance gain, but the bling factor is through the roof!

itll look scary, thats for sure. Its like seeing Shaq for the first time, but finding out he's a ballerina

i think it looks sick, they put one on HOTROD TV or one of those shows on a black 96 GT i think it was?

 

[donjohn]

anybody have a pic of it?

have yet to see it on our model.

they do an install on a 95 in the 5.0 Mustang mag. Yeah $800 for a maybe 5 hp. not worth the cost, but it does look badass. I think that its more for a show car than anything. if i had one, i would defenately do it though. they look mean
