i think on the cold air intakes you feel the HP at higher RPMs but you get more HP in the after affect but the short ram intakes get the HP faster because it gets the air to the moter faster but with less HP in the after affect than the cold air intake... the cold air intake also gets colder air by it being by the lower bumber part

ha! intake plenifold! soo funny. you rock dave!

What are you calling a "positive displacement blower"? I already mentioned that a supercharger on a car is not positive displacement. A supercharger increases the pressure of the air to the engine, and thus reduces its specific volume. This makes it a compressor. It's not the same type of compressor as the one in a fridge, for example, but it's still a compressor.

A positive displacement blower isn't a compressor, its move a certain amount of volume per every revolution but the effect is the same.

Superchargers (and turbochargers) are actually dynamic air compressors, not positive displacement. They don't have a set "displacement", like a piston compressor, which IS a positive displacement compressor.Also, they are compressors (not pumps) since they increase the pressure of the gas (and thus reduce the volume). They compress it.Pumps merely increase the pressure of a liquid. Since liquids don't really compress, the volume doesn't change much.

This is a cool video, I learned a couple of new things about forced induction.

The type of hoses I ran in my crafted cold air intake system in my '91 Sundance RS were silver dryer hoses bought from Lowes.On my air box, I cut a hole on the right & added a snout to accomodate the 2nd air scoop.One more thing I did was add a throttle body spacer. I read that this gives a little bit more torque on the 2.2/2.5L TBI's.

When I had my '91 Plymouth Sundance RS w/ 2.5L TBI engine, I did some cold air intake mods: I installed 2 air scoops below the radiator mounting beam. I put a K&N air filter in.I gutted out my air box by cutting out everything in it. I removed the pre-heater coolant hoses from da intake manifold.All of this made a substantial difference in performance.Later on, I cut a hole in my hood to install a hoodscoop. This didn't turn out as well as I thought, so I recovered that part of the hood.

Probably highway mileage.

well i get 28 mpg with my 5.0 21 on a humid day with high heat and no cruise. so on average with my daily driving it is only about $30
