The new Ram-Air system draws cool air from two key locations; the stock hood scoop and a down-facing inlet. Why not utilize the stock fender opening? Testing revealed it to be a source of hot air, not the cool air Banks engineers were searching for. Once the sensors were installed, testing began.
Performance between intakes was calculated comparing the delta density (lb/1kft3) from ambient air to compressor inlet air as seen in the graph above. Density takes into account temperature, pressure, and humidity. The greater the air density, the more horsepower your engine will make. Yes, flow is important, but if the system flows more air, and that air is hot, you’ll often see a loss in horsepower. High-flow, cool, dense air is the winning combination. For a better understanding of Air Density, see this article.
S&B — Note this intake draws air from 3 locations: Ch-1A front intake scoop, Ch-1B Battery side foam inlets, Ch-1C Fender side inlet. S&B provides a plug to close the fender side inlet; therefore, it was tested with and without.
AFE — Note this intake draws air from one location and splits the airflow. Ch-1A front intake scoop, Ch-1B stock passage underneath the battery.
Stock — Note that the stock intake draws air from one location; the front intake scoop, and directs it underneath the battery into the airbox. There is another foam inlet where some minor airflow does occur, facing the engine bay, as seen in the photos.
Based on testing, the Banks Ram-Air system performed best thanks to its lack of restriction and minimal air-temperature increase, making it the air density king. And as racers know, air density means horsepower and efficiency.
