ok, what is the difference between a cold air intake anda short ram intake... and what will they do to your cars performance

 

cold air is closer to the ground to get more cold air away from the engine short ram is closer to the engine not sure of the hp gains from each probably similar i have a short ram cold air also sucks up water from puddles which will get into your engine

 

short ram is safer for daily drivers one puddle can hydrolock your motor with a cold air intake is the 1 hp really worth risking your motor ???

 

But cant you buy the CAI and disconect a pipe to make it a short ram? Or wuz dat just a cuztom pipe.

 

Yes but it's alot of work to do that and do you want to do that in the rain when a sudden storm comes up

 

does anyone know the hp gain on a short ram???

 

under 10hp ... most claim 5/10 hp

 

would it be a problem to drive in winter conditions with a short ram... will it suck up snow.... and if its really cold outside and you have a cold air/short ram, will it take longer for the engine to warm up since its pulling all that cold winter air into the engine... would you have to take it out during the winter months??

 

no problem in the winter ... heat is uneffected

 

the main gain is from flow. i have a digital thermometer and actually checked the temperature of the air cleaner at the throttle body. try it, you'll be surprised.
