What does a cross ram intake do?

Cross-ram intake manifolds provide a more direct, straight path for that air and fuel mixture to enter the combustion chamber without resorting to a tunnel ram that pokes through the hood. Not that a massive, tall tunnel ram isn’t cool.

What is Ram induction?

Ram air induction is the forced induction of flow due to air flow being compressed (pressurized) into an inlet from the conversion of kinetic energy (velocity). Air is considered incompressible below speeds of about Mach 0.3 or 230 mph.

Are cross ram intakes good?

Generally, Long intake runner lengths (ie., cross ram) will work better on your large displacement engine and give better torque at low end. Larger tube diameter works better with large displacement engines at higher rpms. But a diameter too large may cause reversion and loss of power.

What is a cross ram?

Cross Ram Support for cross ramming, a technique to create space when parts of the vehicle are deformed and obstruct a safe patient extrication. With the help of a ram the car construction is pushed back into its original shape.

Do cold air intakes make a difference?

More oxygen means more power from your engine, so improved airflow is an excellent way to increase the performance of your vehicle. This is where a cold air intake system is extremely effective; improved airflow. This inexpensive mod can be exceptionally useful if paired with other vehicle enhancements.

Is short ram intake better than stock?

Both cold air intakes and short ram intakes aim to bring more air into the engine. This results in better combustion and more power and torque. Some manufacturers claim that their intakes can add as much as 20 horsepower. Both cold air and short ram intakes provide a smoother path for air to follow to the engine.

Is a short ram intake better than a cold air intake?

There are a lot of Cold Air Intake Pros and Cons as well as pros and cons to the short ram intake. The cold air intake does get denser air than the short ram intake. However, since it is longer and more complex, it is often more expensive.

What are the benefits of a short ram air intake?

A short ram eliminates the resonator and filter box, giving the air a short travel distance and hopefully increasing power. That said, it’s pulling air from the engine bay, thus the intake air will be warmer than by using a cold air intake.

Should I get a short ram intake?

Is this worth it? Absolutely. If a heat shield is available for your aftermarket intake system, we recommend to get it. Usually this allows a short ram intake to make more power, since it blocks off some engine heat from reaching your open element air filter.
