Interesting Ram Air

[Supercharged111]

Al-you lost everyone in this group when you said "reasonable person". Seems obvious that even the directors disagree on what constitutes ram air and what should be allowed/not allowed.

There isn't even an answer to whether a 93-97 car with an LS can run the factory LS air filter or if one can run the factory LS filter with an LT.

A director explained to me that unless it's a sealed system grabbing air then it's not a ram air and legal. This would include trimming the bottom of the LS tray which clearly isn't sealed.

Bear in mind for something that questionable I would require data to allow it, but if the data supports it then it is what it is. My point is that I don't like the idea that something can be deemed illegal at a glance because one person perceives it is ram air. The way the rule is written allows just that with no opportunity to objectively prove oneself one way or the other. In the case of the hacked up LS airbox, there is still a leak that flows 300whp unrestricted that, as far as I can tell, has no appreciable positive air pressure trying to force it's way in.

This LS airbox may be a bit of a 1 off. I think it's worth validating with actual data and perhaps specifying how many square inches can be removed.
