Ok think about it, the cold air induction works by ramming more air into the supercharger to create MORE psi giving it MORE acceleration and MORE HP

Well, no, that is a common misconception.

Cold Air Induction and Ram Air are two different things.

You're not going to get more boost from a cold air intake - period.

Anyway, I didn't know any Cobras existed without at least an upper pulley

Do you have a problem with your ignition switch or have you lost the key? Or do you use the key too? If the ignition switch is bypassed then anyone can start your Stang without a key! But give me 3' of wire and I can start it too without a key! It's good to see someone your age that's willing to mod and drive a classic Mustang. Have you heard of Clifford performance? They specialize in 6 cylinders. kennyg

I have no problem with the ignition. You have to have the key to start it. I haven't bypassed the ignition switch yet. I haven't heard of that company before, only stovebolt.



Ram air forces air into he intake. Cold Air doesn't.

Are you planning on bypassing the ignition though, or just keeping it like it is?

Well, yes, I am sure.

Cold Air Intake allows for the induction of air that is cooler than collecting air from under the hood. Colder air contains more oxygen (more dense) which is one of the components of combustion. Increase oxygen, increase work (read work = horsepower).

Ram Air is literally ramming air into the intake. This is usually done with those very large scoops that you see on race cars. Even then, Ram Air does not start to become functional until ~70MPH.

Now, another physics lesson would deal with cowl induction and using the low pressure area at the cowl area to "inject" air into the intake.

If you look at most "Ram Air" systems (like the 69 GTO Judge and 69 Buick GS400 Stage I and the 72 GS455 I used to have), these are nothing more than cold air intakes. There is no ramming effect going on. Look at the airflow over a hood and you will see what I mean.

Where do your 420/420 numbers come from, wild guesses or dyno?

Uh, no.
It does not.
Please show empirical data.

You are right.
That neat little pull button must have had the wrong sticker.
