dg motorsports ram air cf hood

[Jhova1012]

Sounds like an expensive way to hydrolock an engine to me.

you would have to submurge an intake filter entirely and rev the engine for it to suck that much water in to hydrolock it, no way enough water would going through the opening on this hood to do that

is there any pics to the underside of the hood? To show how the ram air really is hooked up?

How's this supposed to work? I can't imagine this is going to result in much cooler air once its compressed and through the intercoooler.

A better intercooler seems as though it would have a much larger impact, but less bling.

yes but i conjunction with a fmic, it would be nice
but i agree, if your wanting function over form, go with the fmic first

If you want an explanation for the gains read the Feb. 2004 issue of turbo mag. There are so many ways to see "false" gains on a dyno. The "big" fan they put in front of the closed hood is nothing in comparison the the air at 60 mph. Does this mean at 60mph you would see a gain of 13 whp? Probably not. I still say those gains are bs.

mp3moose- i had a g-tech in my mustang and took it to the strip. It was usually accurate to within 2 tenths of a second but the horsepower is off. I used a dynojet to do the comparison.

I would like to see a EVO style hood with this dg motorsports ram air duct(hint hint vendors).
And who cares if the ducting isn't for an MSP, it's called custom fab your own damn stuff to work with it. I know I would, I think this ram air, with an FMIC would really help out the air temp of our cars.
