LOL you know it's mighty tempting. I am willing to go half way, thats the best I can do. I am not a gambeling man by nature and I don't wanna drive 4 hours just to smoke you. As some would say "I dont want to waste my gas on you" And ohh nice smileys, lol!

You know I could really suprise you if I wanted too.. I know your gonna be spraying atleast a hundred shot and it will be to close to say. Thats not a good investment for me and I dont want to take your money. Just keep in mind I smoke Steve worse then you do. The offer still stands, we race half way and you better be ready for RAM AIR POWA!

Lesson in the laws of physics, #235:

Pressure due to velocity
P = 0.5*dens*V^2
dens = density of air = 1 kg/m^3
V = velocity

For this example, I'll use 100 mph, or 46 m/sec:
P = 0.5*1*46^2 = 1058 kg/(m*sec^2) = 1058 Pa
101325 Pa = 14.7 psi (atmospheric pressure)
1058/101325 * 14.7 = .15 psi

Yes, that is correct. The boost you get at 100 mph is 0.15 psi, or 1%. For a 240 FWHP car, you get a whopping 2.4 FWHP boost with a ram air setup. This is only at 100 mph, also. At 50 mph the boost would be 1/4 that (0.6 FWHP). This is for a theoretically perfect ram air setup, also. Real world boost would likely be even less.

The main purpose behind the setup will be the cold air. Air temp will go down atleast 50 F probably. And that adds more power.




Sprint maybe I will come to you.. Can we meet on a highway or something near your house? Man I just want to know what you have at this point and I dont want to be called EKitty anymore..
