Re: Ram air hood ..thoughts/ideas ????

I see so many cowl induction hoods on these trucks, yet I have yet to see on where the aircleaner has the proper ducting to take advantage of the higher pressure air that can come in through the cowl. The reason the cowl induction hoods were first made was to take advantage of the naturally high pressure point crated by the windshield compressing the air as it goes by. Because of this, the air at this point is more pressurized than the air in front of the leading edge of the hood.
