Cold Air Ram Air Kits
 
OK, curious; does anyone use the Fast Toys, Super Sucker, or SLP ram air kits? The SLP ones seem like it doesn't hangs low enough and neither does the FTRA one. the SSRA seems like it is the best one as far a performance, anyone agree/disagree?

Also, what about have negative effects on cooling since it blocks the radiator slightly? I have a 160* thermo and SLP's fan control switch so even when it is hot as balls out my car stays pretty cool (like in the center or maybe slightly to the left).

What do you guys think?

Going by my Interceptor gauge which takes its readings directly from the pcm with the SSRA kit my I.A.T. temps drop quicker running the car from a dig..
No difference in cooling temp with it on my car..

There won't be any difference in cooling since they get the air for the radiator from underneath, not from the front. That's what the air dam is for, directing air up through the radiator.

I've got the SLP CAI kit, but can't really say it made a difference performance wise.

It does, however, get my K & N air filter dirty much faster than the stock air tract did. I think I will go back to paper filters...

Little G used it on his old 3.8 car, and he saw a ~1.5 mph gain in trap speed at the strip....
