ram air intake?

I know that's what you meant by ram air, though much of the gains are from the cooler air temperature. The OEM location will give some ram air effect, it should be in a high pressure zone ahead of the wheel arch bulge. The cowl or front of the car are probably higher pressure areas, but obviously difficult to duct to! An effective ram air intake doesn't have to have a big honkin' scoop to be effective, and the drag from a large scoop may offset any HP gain. Their effectivness is difficult to judge without wind tunnel testing, CFD, or lots of trial an error.

there are scoops you can get for the intake.

Keep in mind that a "cold air intake" does not need to be near the ground. It just so happens that in 95% of cars its the easiest place. all a cold air is, is just getting fresh air from the outside of the car. So our side intake is a Cold air. like blue2000s said. Also unless your motor isnt getting enough air. then ram air wont do a whole lot for you. Its been debated on Mustang and muscle car forums for a long time.


I have seen talk about some owners who have larger motors and say that the location of the intake on the box doesnt give the motor (ITHO) enough air. Im not sure if that is true or not but some went for scoops and some relocated. but either way the easy way is just the scoops relocating wont be easy and you run the risk of ending with a subpar system if not done right.
