It is very interesting, and once vararam actually shows us some data I would like a technical discussion between them and the others that have posted on this subject.

no CAI manufacturers here, just pointing out one of many myths perpetuated over the years by marketing. Ted Jannety just tested all the intakes and he says it's a myth too. He's said it numerous times before the tests.

Getting your engine the additional air (and cooler) it wants, will make more power. It just has nothing to do ram air.

seriously, it'd be REALLY interesting to see a debate between the company's that manufacture these ram-air hoods, and the science people who can explain how everything works. |
It's just marketing folks. It's been hyped for so long it's just considered true. Show the scientific data (you can data acquisition the crap out of anything these days) that supports ram-air effect at car speeds. Nobody is saying that a less restrictive higher flow intake doesn't make more power than stock. They do. It's just what you call it.
Anybody want to buy a 3/4 race cam?
