HAVE THE AIR RAMS INSTALLED

Report:
*Very, stupidly, ridicuously loud
*Heaps more torque....

I spin the wheels a lot easier coming out of corners in 2nd gear.... can be a bit of a pain... also, the smqaller wheels now probably wouldnt help a lot.....

peoples veiws???[/list]

Are you talking about Carby Ramstacks? iwant some of these.. the short ones that can fit inside my K&N's

yeah.... they are so nice.... got a bag more torque with em....

Ha-Ha has 'em too.. my real short ones, no room for anything longer in a Ramflo!

mine are probably round 50mm long.... i had to take out some of the firewall on the passenger side to make them fit....
dont worry, I only cut two lines in and bent the section of the firewall back.... completely reversable

tom do they make that much of a diff compared to the foam filter?

I hacked mine big enough for a Ramflow with the GR manifold, but the speedo is in the way. Bugrit, I'll keep the Redline.. and sell the GR one. Gafmo has dibs on it.

I didn't thing the ram tubes made that much differnace

Ram tubes just help to straighten out the air going into the carby right? Or do they really allow more air to be pulled through as well?

Both.
A sharp edge effectively reduces intake diameter due to turbulence.
On a Weber or Dellorto, low speed running is improved with a stubstack or trumpet, as the venturi gets a better straighter airflow- helps it to control mixture.

Longer trumpets add to the induction length, this gives more torque. IF you have room in there... I don't!

that's quite interesting I didn't know that.

i need to get some socks and put them over the stacks

They just move the torque lower in the rev range. They cannot produce MORE torque on their own. The torque is built into the motor by virtue of its specification isn't it?

Yeah.. I guess what I should have said is they can optimise torque.
Another benefit is they can help stop fuel standoff fog from sitting outside the carb when you are running big cams..

Most race cars with Webers run long inlet manifolds which have a similar effect- ie increase indution length.
