JLT Ram Air Sucks?

chris1 · December 18th, 2007, 08:47 PM

Okay i just came over from another forum where there are mixed feelings and "proof" that jlt ram air intakes dont improve 1/4 mile time. Is that true? how much hp did you gain with this basic swap? i'd like to see what my 4v brothers have to say about this. 2v's feel free to give me your .02

HMUSN · December 18th, 2007, 09:32 PM

here is my advice..

tell me which one you think makes more power?

Black02GT · December 18th, 2007, 09:50 PM

personally aftermarket intakes to ' me ' dont add that much. maybe 7-8 hp... I think they are more or less big gainers on heavily modified vehicles. thats just my opinion.

also, another opinion being, intakes dont work that well with just itself. add a plenum and throttle body to really make a difference.

energiesource · December 18th, 2007, 09:51 PM

oh hmusn
how many times ive seen that picture..

HMUSN · December 18th, 2007, 09:55 PM

^ because it works

and black02GT is right.

no intake alone will give you a lot of power, but when adding parts.. you get more power... and believe me guys.. size counts. I don't care what the ladies tell ya

so i'd see respectable gains with my t/b? i felt it the day it was installed but i havent dynoed it yet

HMUSN · December 18th, 2007, 11:39 PM

on a 4v.. more than you would with a 2v.

a 2v here picked up 12 rwhp by adding one. you should get more.

chris1 · December 18th, 2007, 11:39 PM

HMUSN i have to say you happen to be a very knowledgeable dude who happens to come with a touch of patience. Unlike many other @$$holes. thanks

HMUSN · December 18th, 2007, 11:41 PM

no problem man.

I have patience because I used to have patients <-- literally.
sick people make so many damn excuses it's not even funny.

<-----btw.. click my scale..

i am looking for 3 bars

help a brother out

GTblackprodigy · December 19th, 2007, 04:20 AM

i actually think jlt is the best..if i've known better i should of got that over the k&N i got..which im still pleased with ..but i push my friend to get one for his 07 gt..no regrets

Doc8224 · December 19th, 2007, 05:44 AM

C&L Mass air system and inlet tube FTW. double digit gains. Couple that with say a twin 65mm TB 20-25 at the wheels on the Mach. I felt a differnce with just a port and polished TB. Sweet2kstang can vouch for that.

SWEET2KSTANG · December 19th, 2007, 06:39 AM

i did a jlt on a 98 cobra, not too much there. i run a c&l and love it. i have delt with the bbk, cheap ebay intakes, c&l, jlt, k&n, and s&b. i am partial to c&l now after the one i have done on mustangs, i also highly recommend the s&b. the k&n is a good system and the jlt is also. i personally think the jlt is highly over rated, but thats my opinion. there is power to be had with a cai, but dont expect a huge gain.

hotshot · December 19th, 2007, 10:36 AM

i have the anderson ford motorsport 4" powerpipe that goes through the fender to under the front bumper. I didn't notice a HUGE gain but I did notice a lil (maby it was in my head) but anyway it looks really cool under the hood.

i believe HMUSN stated that a 2v did gain 12rwhp. how is that not a huge gain? and especially mine being a 4v.

he wasnt talking about hmusn's statement , he was just telling you not to expect a huge gain.

and i run the c&l and i love it , looks pretty sweet too

SWEET2KSTANG · December 19th, 2007, 02:00 PM

thats a nice gain, but not huge. your not going to feel 10hp. you will notice a little difference, but not a lot.

chris1 · December 19th, 2007, 05:24 PM

okay...well im trying to squeeze all the hp out of this by staying bolt on for now.

that was me, but it was the CAI, not the RAI. but, if you ask some members on here (mixedbreed), i'm full of shit for saying that i gained that from a CAI...
as if i would lie about shit like that. if i'm gonna lie, it's not going to be about a little 12 hp gain. but yeah, the JLT is a great product...
