Cool idea!
Air intake is all "Frontal Ram". The OE fender source appears to be very passive in nature, as air pressure may not change as the vehicle starts moving. I have a feeling that it may (?) even create mild negative pressure during motion ( just like the "one open window" principle - "my toll ticket just flew out" experience).RockyMtnTitan said:Fearless! :gunz:
Gr8 idea, man. So will the new box take all of it's air from the front area now, or a combination of original fender source, plus front area?
Do you have to fab a new WS fluid reservoir....seems like you could find a generic one the right size to save you some hassles.
Thanks, and keep us posted. :cheers:
Probably not measurable by dyno since there is no ram effect during the testing. I remember the 'Cudas & Chevelles in the 70s that gave credit to the Ram Air for improved HP ratings. True, 2/10th or 3/10th of a second improvement in ET is really negligible in everyday driving however, it can make or break a dream at the track. I will be going to the track before the season closes. If I break the 15 second barrier, it would be a dream come true and I'll credit the time imrovement to this mod.Papa_D said:A fine idea and worthy of praise in regards to the ingenuity involved. Aren't we talking negligable gains though? What type of performance gains are you guessing? I'm not tryin to pee on the parade and would consider this mod if the benifit is there.
Just have someone stand in front of the truck with a leaf blower or something and blow in the area to produce "wind" effect. :upsidedowgr8titan said:Probably not measurable by dyno since there is no ram effect during the testing. 2/10th or 3/10th of a second improvement in ET is really negligible in everyday driving however, it can make or break a dream at the track.

Thats really cool man!!robert borsa said:hey looks good but i have the ram air from the fender i also have ram coming from the hoodi got two hood scoops from bully and modified them a bit mounted them on the hood but first i cut a 4" hole in my hood,kept the fact. air box modified it a bit also instead of putting a air intake on i cut part of the tubing going to the box kept everything stock and put a 25.00 cone on the end you talk about some gains for dirt cheep alittle bit of common sence can save lots of money. after thati put on my tailgate (yea, it eats hemis alive.)
