well,a short ram intake doesnt really make much for power,makes a lot of noise,it changes what rpm the power is created,but if you think 2-3 wheel horse power is real power,i gotta argue you there.
And as far as that icebox goes,i was trying to say,isnt this like taking the stock airbox and routing cool air to it?using a cone filter cant make all that much difference,high flow or not....yes,if you have a header and aftermarket exaust,maybe rechipped computer,head job,different intake and throttle body,then improving the volume of air will make a substantial difference,but unless you did all that,your only talking a few horsepower at best.
I know cars pretty well,imports are somewhat new to me,i usually do toyotas and domestics,building them in this way is too,used to doing things for much more horsepower...but you gotta learn somtime
Wasnot shooting down anyones idea,its just i cant see how this is making more horsepower,and why.maybe it changes the rpm range the power is created,that i wont deny,but what is it your saying is creating the power?obviously your not getting much more air than with a stock air box,right?
