question to group: recently ordered ram air

[Lemieuxfan]

ok so I pulled the trigger recently for 140.00 via Ebay on the RamAir system and stumbled across youtube video below wanted to run this past the group

i was hoping for an increased in throttle response and maybe just maybe fuel economy but this video he sounds against this mod..

What a Wanker!................ Put that Ramaire on, install appropriate HansO tune & get ready to never be able to frown again. Throttle response? YES! Fuel mileage? Who gives a shat? I'm thinking a bout tying a knot in my throttle cable so the beast won't separate itself from my pants!!!!

Everything Tex says .
Definitely not an eco mod but the induction roar will certainly compensate for that !

JUST DO IT!!!!

the cutout of the claw looks very good; moving forward with the RamAir apprec. fellas had some mild remorse for a minute or two

My RamAir has worked well for over a year.
A proper dyno tune will eliminate that secondary and improve wick response.
. . . or a HansO tune, which is the next best thing, IMHO.

If you are not going to a proper dyno-tuner, don't waste money on a dealer.
Find another forum member with the Tune ECU skills or yourself and load it.
Not difficult - even I did it . . . v-e-r-y carefully!

+1............. Shat! even I did it & there's no one dumber about computer stuff than me TuneEcu for Android is easier than the one for windows if you're challenge like me - Get a tune from @HansO or @Claviger
