Saturday, August 28th, 2010There are various kinds of Cold Air Intake systems available in the markets. Typically the main three air Ram Kits, Short Ram Kits, and Long Ram Kits. Long ram air intakes create more horsepower and better gas mileage by enhancing the efficiency by eliminating the limiting stock air boxes and reinstating them with bent tubes that allow smooth flow. As a result, the amount of air going into the engine as well as its velocity is increased. The air that goes inside the engine is much cooler. However, these kits sometimes will have the input tubing low to the ground where the colder air is, but also where rain and standing water may be causing hydrolocking. Hydrolocking occurs when any liquid is present in the engine’s cylinder on the intake stroke and, due to the incompressibility of the liquid, makes the compression stroke impossible.
