If you bring up a vehicle that has a RamAir system, don't forget to mention
that it's also built into the aerodynamics of the vehicle. Notice where
the scoops are as compared to where they are on a truck. BIG
difference. The system is mainly a "Cold Air Induction" system which most
vehicles could use for better performance anyway.
The other item is also the "RamAir" system isn't functional until after
approximately 100mph...at maybe .1 boost. Top Fuel race vehicles use the
RamAir effect and are capable of close to 1psi boost...but they're also
achieving this well above 300mph.
We've all been through this several times already.....
