In Reply To	Ram air on a forced induction car is 100% pointless. posted by BigTDogg (MA) on May 13, 2011 at 08:21 AM
Message	If it is a true "Ram air," It is forcing air directly into the motor thus forcing more hp down the vg's throat. You may be right as far as the "turbulence" standpoint but to keep it simple, How can more forced air into the vg motor be bad? I hear you but a lot of the mods for the Z and other vehicles such as: dual intakes as opposed to single, bigger diameter exhaust, bigger turbos, bigger throttle bodies, dual mafs,etc all give more air for more power so um, I am at a standstill... I am still curious and truly dont know what effect if any it would have but I truly dont think it is ridiculous is my point....
