Default Ram air

Looking into a ram air kit for my truck. its been slacking a little bit at higher speeds. i figure a ram air kit would cure it a little bit till i put a new cam in it in the summer. ive looked and volant makes one with a reasonable price and and theres another one by king cobra air. does only one know which is better and does it really help any at all at the rw's.

if you read some previous posts i think you will find equal answers on both of those units as far as quality so go with the one you like the best but also do research because there has been complaints of the cheap filters used in the vararam and the intake problems with the volant so take those for what you will again there are plenty of people that really enjoy both i am going to stick with either the AEM or the FIPK

I am quite pleased with my Volant with the optional scoop. No problems at all. Pulls real hard from a 60 mph role.
