On page 186 of the Feb. issue of MM&FF is an article and picture of the ram air hood by Cervini. It looks freakin' gorgeous, but of course it is difficult to determine fit and finish from a b&w photo. Had anyone installed one of these on their own L? If so, can you give us a report?

 

I installed one of the ram air hoods on my 93 Flairside, the fit and finish is #1. I called them on the hood for the L, it's 429.00, and the ram air setup in the article was a prototype, and wont be available for 6 months. Personaly, i'm going to wait and get the whole setup. From what the article said it was worth .5 off hte qrtr times, on a stock L!

 

anyone have the article/ ad and a scanner? id like to see it.

Pretty sweet looking, even better that it's functional. How does performance compare to the cone filter kits we've been using? I can't read the print from the picture.

Thanks,

Checked out your photo, Steve, and I see that you had descreening problems, too. After David's request I scanned the article and picture, but I had a lot of problems with de-screening, and ultimately wound up with a file size way too big to post to the forum. I may go back and try to get, the size down, but in meantime i will send pic to anyone who emails request to <alphadoggy@jetlink.net>
btw, the mag is still on the stands til the end of the month.

 

I have a small file version around somewhere, harder to read, but not to bad.

 

Could you send the article to me so I can read it, and see the pictures?

dang. i rescanned the article, and got it down to 92K, but i can't figure out how to attach it to this reply. i tried dragging and dropping the file into the reply window but it just opens the picture. can somebody tell me how to post it?

 

Come on now, you guys don't REALLY think that hood is worth .5 in the 1/4, do you? That truck ran 13.50s in the fall at E-town. Even Smith got 13.70s out of a stock 99 at E-town several weeks before in warmer weather. What do you think?

Sal I'm sure its better than a K&N Filter and a pipe. I sure not the hp/$ of the filter either. I do like the looks, a lot.

 

I checked out the FF&MM article too and called Cervini. They told me that the hood was available now (as stated) but that the intake air system was about 6 to 8 months off. I mentioned to them that I did not want to wait until August for the system. I also had some questions on the packaging of the air system since it sits over the intercooler reservior and I was curious about the routing to the Air meter too. As Sal questioned I wonder about the .5 sec claim. Still it would be cool to duct cold air into the intake.

i know babolt read it because he responded, but i checked out the underhood temps last saturday, and i can't see 5/10ths unless it includes something as good as or better than sal's filter system. https://www.f150online.com/f150board...ML/001220.html
