Q.:
Your system is designed for the ‘94-’96
Impala SS and Caprice, what other cars it will fit?
A.: The system will fit any ’91-’96
GM B-body with the LT1 or “baby” LT1.
These vehicles are the Caprice, 9C1, Roadmaster, Fleetwood,
and Impala.
Q.:
I have electrical water pump on my car. Will it interfere
with the Ram Air System?
A.: LT1 engines converted to electric water
pumps will work with our system. Some heavy duty pumps
are too long and may interfere with the ram air system
though. Standard duty electric pumps provide ample
cooling.
Q.:
I have mechanical cooling fans on my car. Will it
interfere with the Ram Air System?
A.: Our Ram Air System is designed to work
only with the electric fan systems, since the mechanical
fan belt drive will interfere with the Ram Air System’s
placement. We recommend that you convert your car
to the dual factory electric system. Many people have
done this and it is a very simple conversion. This
conversion will also allow the engine to produce more
HP since there is no parasitic HP loss due to the
mechanical system.
Q.:
Would the water get through the system and into my
engine?
A.: Normal driving in rain will not allow
water into the engine. Water will naturally drain
from the system and can not be pumped the system from
the engine.
Q.:
How much HP will I get using your system?
A.: Horsepower can be increased by decreasing
the restriction of airflow to the vehicle’s
engine. Typically, the OE stock air box and induction
tube significantly restrict the airflow. On a stock
engine HP gains are in the 20+hp range. Engines with
more modifications will see more gains.
Q.:
Will my gas mileage change by using your system?
A.: The U.S. Department of Energy states
that “replacing a clogged air filter can improve
your car’s gas mileage by as much as 10%.”
According to the Department of Energy’s web
site, this can equate to “up to $0.31 per gallon.”
The Department of Energy is referring to replacing
a clogged filter with another paper filter. By replacing
a clogged filter with a clean filter, you’re
making it easier for the air to travel through the
filter. Since the engine is not working as hard to
ingest the air, this translates into better fuel economy.
The same is true when you replace the highly restrictive
original intake system with our Ram Air System.
Q.:
What filters do you use?
A.: A washable and reusable gauss type high-flow
filter.
Q.:
You ask to specify either stock or after market sway
bar. What is the difference?
A. Aftermarket sway bars are larger in diameter
than the factory bar, the mounting hardware we provide
for each system is sized for the bar used on your
car.
Q.:
I currently have stock sway bar, but I am planning
to put in aftermarket sway bar in a couple of month.
Which system should I get?
A. You can inform us at the time of your
order and we can include both types of mounting hardware
in your kit when it is shipped.
Q.:
Do you sell air intake systems for other types of
cars/truck?
A.: Yes, we carry a complete line of factory
replacement filters and cold air induction kits for
most cars and trucks. If you don’t see your
vehicle listed, please e-mail us for your application.
