[DeTomaso] ram air

[JFFR]

I have tested my cold air induction system and have proven that without 
the sealed air box connected to the side air scoops, my inlet air 
temperature was 40 to 50 degrees warmer. The testing was very easy to do 
on my car because it is fuel injected and I have an on dash system 
monitor that has an inlet air temperature reading, along with a lot of 
other information.

Another member of this forum sent me a digital manometer and I tested my 
system to determine how much actual ram air effect it had. The readings 
were taken every ten miles per hour up to 120 miles per hour. The data 
showed that there was a constant increase of air pressure in the air 
box, however at 120 miles per hour it was less than one pound. I don't 
know how much that small amount of increased pressure will have on 
engine performance, so I will have to leave that up to the experts, but 
my cold air inlet temperatures are absolutely accurate.
