I have to disagree.........on my race car I had a hood scoop, with a fabricated plate under neath that sat on top of dual dominators. It was configured so that air was directed right over the 2 carbs. The difference with and without was 2.2 mph and .15. sec. ET. The RAM AIR does work. Its a known fact that an engine in nothing more than a big air pump. Feed it more air and fuel and the faster you will go. Thats why we monitor EGT so we know when engine is fat or lean due to atmospheric conditions. When fat give it more air or less fuel. In my case I could do either with jet or air bleeds. The theory described is incorrect especially for 1/4 mile drag cars.svede1212 said:sorry but i am. this is one of automobile's biggest urban legends and one that doesn't seem to die. there are many articles about ram air. at speeds under 200-300 MPH the effect is almost non-exsistant. look up real ram air and see how it works. at 150 MPH a well designed ram air (one that propbably wouldn't look too cool on your car) gives a maximum theoretical pressure of .4 PSI and at lower speeds next to nothing. it's a PERCIEVED cool thing not actually too useful on the street or 1/4 mile. the good side of it is that bringing in a cooler and thus denser charge of outside air IS helpful but there's cheaper ways to do that. for what it costs i'd rather spend my money on a cam. if you want boost get a Turbo or blower
