Anyone out there have any opinions on the March ram air kit for the GT? It looks pretty cool and uses the stock air box and hosing to the throttle body.

I would imagine that it would work well after getting some speed up, say 25mph and faster. Any thoughts? Mark M :clap:

 

Buy a k&n air filter and save yourself 150 bucks for the same peformance.

 

ram air only works if you can seal the system so the normal intake path isn't used, otherwise you bleed any pressure off right through the other side. I don't think march's system fixes that glitch.

A drop in K&N or a K&N FIPK (better but only a little)would be more than sufficient unless you have a blower/turbo.

 

Ram Air is a myth!!

 

no.. it works, if you can actually scoop air in sufficient quantity to pressurize. Professional drag racers use huge birdcatchers for just that reason (I was there when Eddie Hill wrecked his dragster after shaking the drag racing world by putting a big scoop on his blower intake WOW that was neat to see). Eddie was wrecked by a front wing problem not the scoop but the scoop worked... he was on track for a smokin time and was the man to beat that weekend up until the wreck.

Problem to me is scoops... anything short of the Boss429 scoop is just too small... and unless it's on the front of the hood or the roof it won't get much air.

There have been factory implementations that added a little something. Just not many. I think the added drag of a sufficiently large housing would negate any real benefit.

 

March claims a 12 hp increase. Don't know how they came up with that if it were dynoed in a non moving forward configuration. But the system looks sleek enough not to cause to much drag. Mark M

 

Save your money. My ram air is a pair of needle nosed pliers which I use to pull my passenger side healight out. I run an open filter and at the top end you pick up a little trap speed. This is of course only at the track, lol.

 

My GT comes with a big scoop, gives me a lot of power...
