How much does it cost to put Ram Air on your truck? Is it true that the faster you go with Ram air, the more air gets to the engine which, in turn, gives it more horsepower?

 

Well, sort of.
Cold air is more dense than warm (under hood) air and therefore contains more oxygen by volume. The more oxygen you have, the more fuel you can burn, which will give more power.
There is a slight supercharging effect too, if you are going fast enough.
If you want to test that theory, put your hand out of the window at standstill and then again at 70 mph.
If you do get a Ram-Air hood, best results will come from sealing the air intake to the hood scoop although most of the hoods I have seen do not have an inlet in the front corner. Go figure!
I have seen the hoods advertised at www.stylinconcepts.com

Probably going to cost somewhere between $500 -$1000 + paint depending on whether you go for fibreglass or steel hood.
The alternative is to duct cold air into whatever intake system you already have fitted.

Good luck if you decide to go ahead.

 

Here's a thread from the Tbird and Cougar forum which I frequent. My opinion is in there and it was a fairly heated debate.
Ram does not exist for regular cars and even some race cars.

Lot's of reading...

 

thanks

 

yup.
