| We
have always enjoyed tweaking and building muscle cars
and street rods. Our past projects which are no longer
in our stables have been a 1932 Ford Tudor Sedan,
1968 Camaro RS, 1994 Impala SS, 1996 Camaro SS, and
a 1997 30th Anniversary Camaro SS.
Just
like you we began to look for a kit to purchase and
found that no one made an intake system that we liked
for the Impala / Caprice. We opened the business in
1994 when we got our first Impala SS We set out with
a simple goal of making as much power as possible
for a reasonable price. We have since bought a 1996
Impala SS that we have had since new. We have since
branched out into carrying intake systems for other
vehicles and we are working on bringing other products
into the market for our customers.
Customer
service is not something we just say, it is something
we live for. Our customers are the reason we are here,
and we strive to treat everyone who calls or writes
us as we would like to be treated by others. Give
us a call and let us help you, whether it is a product
we carry or not we will be happy to share our knowledge
with you.
GM
designed the lower air deflector on these cars to
channel air through the radiator. Our ram air system
intercepts part of this air flow and redirects into
the sealed air canister. The faster you go, the more
power the system makes! You will also experience snappier
throttle response and more power on the roll.

Ram Air Specialists has spent the last year developing a new intake system for the 2005-2007 C6 Chevrolet Corvette LS1, LS2, LS6. Our RamAir intake is designed by racing engineers who sought to provide the most performance available for high horsepower Corvettes, and still maintain OEM functionality. By using quality workmanship and premium components our RamAir intake is an OEM grade product, yet is approximately half the cost of some of our competition. This results in the customer getting the most horsepower per dollar invested or as some say, “Bang for the buck”.

How
the RamAir system Makes Horsepower
This
is a question we hear a lot. The answer is really
quite simple and founded in science. A motor is really
an air pump. The idea is to get as much air in and
out as quickly as possible. However, stock motors
actually do not take in as much air as their displacement
indicates. This air comes into the motor under vacuum
and is assisted by the weight of the atmosphere pressing
down (barometric pressure). This process is not very
efficient. This ratio of actual air entering the motor
versus the actual displacement of the motor is called
volumetric efficiency V.E.
A
typical stock fuel injected motor is rated at about
85 % V.E. This means that out of the 350 cubic inches
of air your motor could theoretically take in, only
85 % of that volume enters the cylinders. This translates
to about 294 cubic inches of air. Some all out race
motors can reach near 100 % V.E. and supercharged
or turbocharged motors actually exceed 100 % by forcing
the air into the motor. Not everyone can afford a
supercharger but there is definitely room for improvement
for the stock motor if you make it easier for it to
get air into the motor for combustion. This is what
ram air does.
As
speed increases, the air entering through the sealed
ram air kit actually becomes pressurized. This positive
pressure helps to fill the cylinders more efficiency
and raises the V.E. of the motor. As the V.E. increases,
the motor becomes more efficient and produces more
HP and also gives you better fuel economy. You will
also find your throttle response dramatically improved.
The motor is working less hard to fill the cylinder
and is greatly assisted by the high pressure air.
The faster your go, the greater the pressurization
effect. This is similar to a mild supercharging effect.
The
second benefit of a ram air system is that is supplies
the engine with colder air than what it would normally
breathe. Colder is more dense and contains more oxygen
for the combustion process. For every 10 degree drop
in intake air temperature, you can expect 1 % more
HP. The ram air kit supplies cold air from the bottom
of the car which is forced into the sealed air canister.
Unlike the stock system, the ram air kit does not
let the motor breathe superheated air from the engine
bay. Additionally, the computer detects this colder
air and adds additional ignition timing. This makes
more HP! |
