Found this old thread while searching for pics of homemade CAI and Ram Air setups:
https://ls1tech.com/forums/showthrea...memade+ram+air
At the time, the Volants were losing power. Does anyone have any new Volant numbers and/or a more recent comparo? Also, what about the Air Raid MIT with a drop in filter, and possibly a home made ram air? I started looking into different routes other than my K&N after I had to modify it to clear my 34" radiator, but now I'm wondering if maybe I should just leave it alone since it seems to have the best numbers (at least it did about a year ago)

Bud,
I gained roughly 0.1 seconds with my ram air setup. I also recently tested the difference between a stock paper filter and a K&N drop in and the difference between an Airaid MIT and Stock tube. I saw no gains with either products (maybe a couple hundreds with the MIT, but I'm not positive).
I have no idea what the difference between the stock box with ram air and an open element air filter setup would show. But, I'm very happy with the setup I have now.

unklej, when are you gonna be offering the ram air for the 99-02's? If I decide to just mod my factory air box, I'll probably go with something like what you did. It looks clean and factory installed...I like that
