what is the difference between a ram air intake and a cold air intake? also what is the difference between a super charger and a turbocharger? i am pretty new to this so have patience.

ram air is a direct air into the intake, cold air is sucked up from the fenderwall, supercharger is through ur intake and turbocharger is thru ur exhaust

so then of cold air and ram air what gives you the most power?

generally ram air gives more hp, but you would have to get a hood designed for it..... unless you make your own (like im doing from my front valance to my CAI)

There is a ram air kit at www.v6mustangstuff.com. The hp gain to price of the ram air kit doesn't really justify itself. If you just want a new intake to replace your stock one then just go to ebay or mustangtuning.com and grab yourself a cheap one. I got mine for $69 from mustangtuning.com, and I'm much happier only paying $69 than $100 some from another company. An intake really won't do much, but is a good first mod to start off with. What an intake will do right now is make your engine a little louder, give a cool whoosh sound, and look better under the hood. But any mod that helps your engine breathe better will help in the long run. This is a good supporting mod for other mods you may plan for later down the road.

well everything they sed is right. i'd just go with cold air, ram air seems to be a lot of work and i really dont see it almost at all around where i live. infact....ive never seen it on a mustang, aside from HIGHLY modded stangs.
as for turbo and supercharger...supercharger is better off the start...but once the turbo spools and kicks in, the turbo in my opinion is much better. especially if both are running at the same psi, the turbo will take the supercharger, ive never really seen a supercharger at the SAME psi level of a turbo win
