Whats ram air?
A “ram air” setup is an intake method where the force of the car travelling through the air is used to literally ram air into the intake (a hood scoop is usually a good indication) From: Jerome Soh (mail@removed.com) “A “ram air” setup is an intake setup where the input end of the intake system is placed facing towards the front of the car such that it can take in air that is at a higher pressure than that in the engine bay when the car is at speed. At 60 mph, a ram air setup can provide up to 1 psi of boost, and at 100 mph, 2 psi of boost. Thus, a properly setup ram air acts like a small turbo system at high speeds (and is “free”). Keep in mind that extending the intake hose to make the ram air setup introduces pressure losses (albeit minor) as the air now has to flow through more pipe. Thus, keep the extension as short as possible.
