latest project: ram air hat
#131
Yes, but the snorkel tubes are about 10X bigger than the throttle body blades. No way it'll suck so much air that friction becomes any factor.
I agree that there is some ram air effect going on, that was one of the goals of this experiment. Also, to get cooler, denser air from the front of the engine, away from the heat of the engine.

I just need to get the filter. I ordered it last week but haven't gotten a chance to pick it up. I ordered the 1535, but i will just get the stock filter.
And I didn't know it was 9.75 inches.
By Saturday i will have it in my truck. All I need to do is mount the tubes and put the hat on. I am not at home and driving a government vehicle, so I will not be working on it until friday night (some last minute sealing with RTV).

Minor loss of ram air with the rain deflectors on. Read between 1.1 "Hg and 0.9 "Hg. That was to be expected I guess. Still flows slightly better than the Mopar open element and IAT temps are at least 30* cooler.
Truck is having a hard time keeping coolant temps down in this heat. I don't seem to be seeing anything cooler than 192* after a warm up and the coolant temp sensor has been reading 205* while idling. I wonder if I have a hotter T stat in by mistake...
I do not attribute this to the air intake. Just a random observation as of late.
Need to pick up a Stant 180* and swap it in to be sure.

I am also running that royal purple additive. That seems to be working great here in arkansas. Does not come close to 200 with the AC going full blast.
