Reply to "Functional air intake on c pillar?"

...Pumps and 'Internal Combustion' Engines Don't 'Suck' in Air! They All depend on 'Atmospheric Pressure' Rushing IN to fill a VOID; Created when a Piston is Moved Down a Bore! The Term 'Negative Pressure' is Acceptable. The 'Ram' Effect works because it Increases Atmospheric Pressure. I've heard it described before as 'Mini Supercharging', this would be correct with the understanding; the Pressure increases with the Speed of the Vehicle instead of the Engine RPM.

I've used 'Ram-Air' in the past, on a front engine vehicle with a Scoop mounted directly on the Carburator, Sticking out of the Hood,(NO Filter) Pointed Forward. Yes, it makes more Power! The Engine even produces a Different Sound! Any other design NOT 'Scooping' Air, with respect to the 'Boundary Layer' is Just 'Cold Air Induction'!

Second...I will assume the 80 Degrees We are talking about was taken on the Scale of 'Fahrenheit' (26.666667 Degrees Celsius)! The Scale was never stated. 80 Degrees Celsius would equal 176 Degrees F.
