The latest mod had some 'ram effect' at 100 kph and beyond, it took noticeably less pedal pressure to maintain those speeds. But t...

This mod will reduce intake charge temps even further by isolating and insulating the air inlet from engine bay heat and through ingestion of air that is coming to the passenger headlights only!!
