Ram Air! | The De Tomaso Forums

macmanMember

Finally finished installing a ram air intake system on my Pantera. I mixed PI's side airscoops with Vararam's Street Ram kit. The results are positive. Feels really strong, even in first gear without the ram effect. The cool outside air seems to really make a big difference. I was not expecting to feel a difference at low speeds, so I'm really pleased. Makes the Pantera even more fun to drive.

Great installation Chris!

The Pantera engine comparment air is very warm, and the cold air is worth 1% extra bhp for every 10 degrees F you drop the motors inlet air temp. The cold air will make a bigger difference than any "ram" effect.

Thanks for sharing your work!

Bought the Vararam kit from Summit Racing. Picked up the side scoops at PI in person since they're about 10 miles away from my house.
