i cant find the pics, but they are out there. That's not true Ram Air. The cutout doesn't actually interrupt the regular airflow with it's own intake scoop. I've got photos of it, though. EDIT- Nevermind. The man with the car posted his links w/ pics.

I've experimented around with hoses to bring cold air in from the bumper area and I think it's pretty effective, especially for mid and upper end pull. My setup runs 2 1/2" shopvac hose up through the fenderwell and into the inner cone of a S&B powerstack filter. When you consider you can do this mod for under $25, it's well worth it. There are some older pics im my sig/link.

There are some older pics im my sig/link. I did the same thing, but I actually disconnected the hose because I "felt" like I lost some bottom end torque. Almost felt like turbo lag. But when it got over 4000 RPM, it was a monster all the way to redline. I did leave the hose in place to dump cold air directly in front of the air filter, though. I think it's doing a good job...
