[QUOTE="Keith Tedford, post: 169785, member: 1228"] The only way that you will see the full benefit of a ram air intake would be with a before and after quarter mile test. Sitting still won't show the ram air benefits if any. Tallying up all the advertised numbers don't count for much. Our 400 hp 2005 MIGHT put down 330 hp at the rear wheels. Our COPO 427 425 hp Chevelle made a whole 260 hp at the rear wheels on a chassis dyno. I was some disappointed because I was supposed to be getting a killer car. The rings in 5 of the eight cylinders didn't seat so a ring job on the new car was in order. These cars were jetted lean for emissions and a very retarded advance curve. Getting those things sorted out made a big difference. Closed headers didn't seem to make any big difference. Our 2005 runs well just the way it is so I am not about to spend a whole lot of money and perhaps mess up a happy combination. [/QUOTE]
