ram air

chknhntr · 12-22-2003

any one think about putting on a ram air like on the mach 1? has anyone heard cost or how much HP will come out of it?? just looking for some info on it.

From what i have heard....the ram air doesn't really do much for the Mach 1, like it only really helps at high end speed. You may want to look into bullitt intake.

the ram air for the mach1 only starts wokring at about 75mph..

Read down. Everyone says scientifically Ram Air doesn't work. I've had it, and did notice improved performance on cold days.

Here is a Mach 1 that has the only true ram air system that really works.

ram air is BS!

I don't know if there is any perf. gain's , if there is it's minimal at best.

BUT , The shaker is so damn cool !! Best looking hood set up IMO.
1.Classic Design Concept's sell's a kit that work's with exhisting hood.
2.KarKraft sell the orig. mach 1 part's and bracket's to fit the GT.All you have to do is order the mach 1 hood from a Ford dealer,paint and install.

i agree though, the mach 1 hood set up looks awesome. I love it

Ok so Ram air dosnt work, but a Cai in a fenderwell does?. The cold air from the Ram has got to help. Just my 2 cents

If CAI works by cooling the air than ram air has to work, at least in cold weather. They are the same.

Ram air just doesn't work in the sense of forcing more air into the intake. The engine will only suck so much. Until the air is pressurized. Then your talking forced induction.

it helps but it isn't ram air anymore. it's cold air, the ram air "effect" is bullshit

It is basically just another form of cold air induction, unless your talking about this badboy here .This is the science they thought they could get but they forgot two important ingredients, a compressor and a pressurized system.

Ohya from an Engineer...It is the difference between Dynamic ( Ram air) and static( Forced Induction) pressures.. Or adeabetic...
