I think the biggest advantage is getting fresh air from in front of the car instead of getting it from under the hood. Cold air itself makes a significant difference and 30+ degree mornings are noticeably better !
Do you data log? If you do its easy to see if it makes pressure or not.

I've been looking at these kits for years and would be interested if it really provided some ram air. However, I beleive I'll be disapointed and be left with an air intake that increases my chances of hydrolocking my engine. NOT DUE TO RAIN but deep puddles.

I hope that vette daddy gets these units back in production.

Sometimes the part just has to be cool, it don't always have to work..Half the stuff I have on my C-4 prop. doesn't do anything .. Thats like lip stick on your girl friend it doesen't do anything ,but sure looks sweet...We need more stuff ,looks like if we get more stuff we will be makeing it in the back yard .. Sounds good to me..

Not sure if I'll become a supporting vendor here but most likely will.

I had a couple of these on earlier ZR-1's and they definitely help in the upper RPM range.....Hope you have them available next week....LOL.....Did Frank (A/O Eng.) have any of the 2 caliper per rotor brake sets left?.......Thanks

Your right about that, I removed the center fins on the intake and fabricated them in aluminum, had it chrome plated and wham...Looks cool.

Thats awesome. Good to see parts being made for the C4. I am on the list to buy a ram air kit. Will it come with the license plate, front duct and tube?

Yep. The 49th Street Rocker project was put on hold until recently. Updates coming as new molds are made.
If you made it I'd like to get one for my 96 collectors Lt4
