The first time slip from last night is the one I really want everyone too see.  The car had no time too cool down from the trip to the track, total heat soak.  Too me it works, it was equal to my non sealed Airaid.   60' times are better with the Airaid cause of the bigger and less restriction, but after that I personally think my ram air into the stock box takes over.  Driver need to get his head out of his butt to get better R/T.  Not sure when I will get back to the track to try the ram air into the sealed Airaid box.

Well I cut the hole into the side of the Airaid.  So I hope it works, going to be a b*tch trying to fix that hole so it looks good.

I used a black abs adapter from home depot. It fits in the hole perfectly. I bought a rubber cover and a band clamp so I can secure it and or close it off...haven't tried the ram air setup yet but will hopefully be going to the track this weekend.

I cut a hole in my sealed Airaid to hook up the ram air hose to it.  Just ran at BSD this past Friday night.  Conditions were great, very low humidity and air temps in low 60's to high 50's.  Starting line had amazing grip, which cause couple passes to have wheel hop. They had a low car count, so we had open time trial for 1.5 hrs.  My best run was #2 for the night, with 14 mins between first and second run.  I didn't raise the hood all night, so everything had total heat soak.  The car I ran against was a Nova with racing slicks.   As you can see his R/T, he smoked me.  I ran him down around 1/8 mile then went around him.  Car seemed to pull better with the sealed Airaid/ ram air.

The 12.89 was my best, my second best was 12.95 @ 105.77, but this run experienced bad front wheel hop, so probably would of been better.  To me the car seemed to run better with very little time between runs.  On on another note, took car to a picnic Saturday in the rain, when I got there I opened the hood to check the air back for water or being damp, I found nothing, which was a good thing.

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!
