Ram air can only help your engine breathe, but I'm not sure how much benefit it'll actually be... the world of intercooled turbo-diesel is not the same as a normally aspirated gasser, where every 10*F drop in inlet air temperature is good for a 1% HP increase.

Cowl induction is more effective than forward-facing scoops, so the intake will benefit from the naturally occuring high-pressure area at the base of the windshield.

well i have to get a mopar part so i can choose between the srt 10 hood with a ram air system for my cummins for an extra two hundred dollers or i can just get the stock hood and get a new intake

This gives me a 10*F differential from idle to cruise...



But if you like the way a ram air hood looks, I'd definitely recommend it!

bigred777

yea i guess its worth it for 200 dollers and is should be allot better then the stock system i just hope it looks good o and sorry about the two threads im new here ill try not to do that again
