Default Ram Air

I was wondering if anyone has tried this ram air kit from corvetteramair? Any dyno or performance numbers. The company has yet to post them. What about water intake? The link to the kit is below.

Can't say that I've tried that one, but I custom built my own based on the design sold on Corvette Central. That one looks a lot easier to install!!! I am pleased with the way mine works simply because it is now able to get fresh air. I don't understand how the car ran so strong before I made the mod.

If it is not too expensive, I'd say give it a shot.

I honestly think the ram air that comes through the front licence plate would be the best way of intake. as shown below http://www.madvet.com/shop?frame=3.12.737

if you just buy the air diffuser and its $150 and make the rest your self!
its cheap and instead of bringing air from low to high the air comes strait in!
that ram air looks goofy! and probally adds a couple lbs.

You might get a few Hp with it, but with the $500, you could gain a whole lot with other mods. That diffusor is mainly for looks; save yourself $150.
