Default LG SUPER RAM first photos.

Hi Guys,

Here is our new ram air package first photos. From design to finished product. True Ram Air separated from the Radiator heat.

We still have to include the Plastic wing nuts to attach the top clam shell to the bottom shroud.

This is a direct evolution from what we built for our World Challenge race car ram air.

in testing we saw 14" of water pressure at 160mph. that is worth horsepower at speed.

More photos today showing the filter and shroud.

Thanks

Lou G

Got a question. How do you tune the engine on a dyno where you cant generate 160mph air? It looks really nice and how much?

If nothing else... it certainly is the coolest looking intake I think I have ever seen.

I assume you position a large fan in front of the car and bring air toward the ram air box at the desired speed. You may not be able to hit 160 MPH, but if you can get to 80 or 100 MPH air speed, that should give sufficent air to tune. I do not know the math to compare airflow at 80 mph v 160 mph for this application.

That is the job of the Mas Air Meter to adjust for the air coming in. It is no problem.

Still working on pricing but we will do our best to keep it reasonable.

Production should start in a week or so.

Thanks
