[QUOTE="Michael Cacioppo, post: 816465, member: 57235"] Bill, not to beat a dead horse but the amount of additional air that a ram air would add to the normal amount of air (non-ram) is not a hell of a lot. Actually the differences are only going to be noticeable at high speed. The normal range of the MAF should be adequate to handle the additional flow. We are not talking about a turbo or blower here. My redline on my Z3 was changed by 500 rpm almost a 10% increase. At 7000 more air is being "swallowed" than at 6500. The MAF has no problem understanding the 10% increase in air flow. Ram air probably would not get you a 10% increase, so why do you feel that it could not handle it in a 4.0 engine? [/QUOTE]
