ive seen cold air kits that go into the fender and come out under the front bumper but to me it seems like the air has to travel way to far.

ram air i would think would be the best. It is forcing large amounts of air into the motor. The more air the better.

what they call "ram air" isn't really ram air, though. it's just a better filter with a fancy tube. the cold air kits actually draw cooler air

i thought ram air had a box that sealed with the hood that forced air into it.
