nice looking hood, i'm still fond of the srt-10 hood tho...

 

its a sweet hood.....i dont think it would look good on all trucks though.......the srt hood though u can put on almost any ram.....

 

For real 'ram air'
which begins to work noticeably above 80 mph
the forward facing hood scoop
needs to be at least 6 inches above the flat section of the hood
or the air inlet needs to be at the rear of the hood facing the windshield.

Heard of the 'Ram Air' effect where the speed of the air hitting the vehicle
builds up pressure in a forward facing air duct and helps 'supercharge' your
engine a bit. ?

Well, at 'typical' street speeds the effect is very very small.

The formula for that is:

Inches of water pressure from Ram Air = (mph) times (mph) divided by 2025.

So at 70 mph the ram air effect is:
(70 mph) times (70 mph) divided by 2025 = 2.4 inches of water.

So the very best possible air inlet tube designed for Ram Air would actually
have a positive pressure of 2.4 inches of water.

How much pressure is an inch of water ?

One psi of pressure is equal to about 28 inches of water.

You can get this by dividing the cubic inches in one cubic foot ( 12 x 12 x
12 ) by the weight of one cubic foot of water ( 62.4 lbs).

The air pressure around us is averages about 14.5 psi at typical heights above
sea level.

So another way of looking at it is that the air pressure around us is about
400 inches of water. ( 14.5 x 28).

So the best Ram Air system at 70 mph gives you a boost of about 2/400 or one
half of one percent. Small.

Ram air started in airplanes where it means more. An airplane going 300 mph
gets a boost of:

300 x 300 divided by 2025 = 44 inches

This is a percentage boost of 44/400 or about 11%

Want a challenge?
Consider your tires.
Some strange facts:
At 70 mph the center of your tire is moving 70 mph.
The bottom of your tire where it 'grabs' the pavement is moving at 0.1 mph
The top of your tire is moving forward at 140 mph.
If you could put a 'Ram Air' inlet right at the top of the tires (where it is
horribly dirty and wet) you could get a significant air pressure boost.....

 

Here we go again.. I thought about getting that hood, but it reminds me too much of a trans am. Plus it's too sleek for a truck like the ram.

 

Same hear on the looks. I myself will not be getting a hood like that. If anything I will get a piece to glue to the hood , just for looks, but will not take anything away from the truck.

 

Thats the hood I have and it looks awesome on. I am going to get it repainted and put it on my current truck. Dodge had to go and change the black paint. LOL Here is apicture of the hood on the old truck.

 

I gotta say, that truck looks amazing; I've always been a huge fan of the black rams, just don't have the time to keep them looking good.

 

Sweet looking hood. I like the looks of the cawl induction hoods. i want one on my truck then i want to get a nice looking bush bar for it then thats it for the exterior mods besides better tires.

 

Pappy likes dis AWESOME hood it be smokin **** hot! [sm=pimp.gif]

 

That's clean. Bad A$$ lookin truck!
