There was a write-up in one of the mags, and it said at 70mph you got
something like 0.5psi out of a RAM-air hood. Compare that with 6+psi
from a blower. Don't know about on our truck motors, but the general
rule of thumb was that each psi=20hp or so on car V8s of equiv
displacement...

Subject: DML: Ram Air or Blower?
Thinking about putting a ram air hood or a blower on my R/T when I get
it.
I know the hood is cheaper and makes less power than the blower, but it
sure looks good. Somebody help me make a decision. How much gain from
hood? Blower? Maybe both and hook up the ram air hood to a
intercooler.
I hear if you use an intercooler you don't need a spark retard box and
get
more usable power with less strain on the engine!
