In an automotive application, the more direct the source is, the better, but it will never be forced. It's nothing more than a cool sounding name for cold air induction.

Kinda like blower vs. supercharger. lol

basically your saying demand is higher than supply, right? i see what you are saying now. what happens if you put a venturi in the tract of the "ram air"(not the carb)? at 200 mph? i would be curious to know.

thanks Chris
