Rig a Ram Air ?

I was thinking of rigging a custom ram air....running some kind of tube from the bottom of the car to inside the engine to right on to my intake ? I think it might work....any ideas?

Unless you plan on getting into speeds upwards of 200+ at least don't even worry about it...

Real smart idea..... how about instead of taking the time to make it you can get the same effect of what would happen if you did this by taking the head of your motor and then stick a garden hose in it and turn it on.... let me know if it works OJ

there have been huge threads about this on other sites, they tend to get really techinacal about it. But basically, the only place that there is actually positive pressure is between the hood an the windshield (like real ram air systems). if you don't put it there it's not gonna do anything.
