Yes true John, but how much do you figure? Then.......how much for the shorter intake that kills power? Some cars have less than others. I know I put RA on my wifes 99 TA and it was like night and day.

If you add the allowable hood stock hood scoop all the variables and dynamics go away. Our Max wedge is suffering at least 20HP on the intake and probably another number for the Ram Air. The 455SD's I havent a clue. The 440 Magnums, who knows?

The thing that really pisses us off is that there are many cars out there without RA engines running their hoods open. That aint right either. Common Sense could fix that too.
