cintron Posted June 6 Report Share Posted June 6 my buddy jon and I did the calculations on a WS6 air intake cross-section at the wind tunnel up here.70mph slipstrem turned out to basically add 1psi above absolute pressure. So 14.7psi became ~15.7psi @ 70mph.Below about Mach 0.5, air can still be compressed - dont know what that stupid fuck is talking about. We watched it happen.Ram air never really was intended to create a natural forced-induction effect. It was intended to grab cold air outside of the engine bay and stuff it into the throttle body... more so than simply shoving a filter in the fenderwell.So anyone who says ram air doesn't do diddly squat, tsk tsk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest saleen351 Posted June 6 Report Share Posted June 6 the SS and ws6 1/4 times were not better even with ram air, since the cars hit the trap at <100mph and had zero effect on HP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teklord310 Posted June 7 Author Report Share Posted June 7 ou812- funny story, i see that stupid shit all the time. Just point and laugh.The "ram air package" on the Trans Am and Camaro SS do provide a few extra ponies because of the revised, straighter intake tract.
