3-5 hp increase is almost nothing... take out your spare tire and you got the same effect.

 

ya but on the spare you can only top at 60 65 or its blown

 

Any benifit would be after at least 100 mph and even then it's only going a couple of hp. I am going by what I have seen on dynos and at the track. The ram air looks good but is really of almost zero performance benefit. GM did a good job marketing these cars and lots of people want to beleive that the SS and WS6 cars make more hp but they don't.

 

So is there anything I can do to get a real ram air affect on my car?

 

Why bother it's not going to get any real power. If want an increase in power put in a cam or get headers. Ram air is not some magic thing that adds a ton of power.

 

Amen!

 

screw it I'll just stick with the NOS

 

I am thinking when he said take out the spare I thought he meant the extra weight taken away, showing how little of a difference it would make. Am I wrong?

 

Jack and spare are about 40 lbs, which is not much in the 1/4...maybe .004 or so if you figure that every 100lbs is worth .01.

 

How much would the rear seats passinger seats and all that other nonsence plastic panels take out in weight
