Default Vortex Rammer

How do you like it? Can you notice a difference in power?

Thanks

Maybe it's just wishful thinking but, I thought I could feel a difference near the top of first gear after I installed mine.

:cheers:

It's especially noticeable when trying to pass. With the stock intake, the engine seemed to hesitate when the throttle was opened suddenly. With the Vortex you get the power immediately. :cheers:

The only thing I noticed was the sound. You can hear the sucking of air much more clearly. The dyno didn't notice anything either. I'm not realy happy I cut the stock shroud without any diff in HP. :confused:

I haven't dyno'd before and after, but I definitely felt a seat of the pants difference - no question about it. The sound was an added benefit!
