Does a ram air setup on a V6 do anything?

^even if there were gains, you're not going to see them on a dyno; something like a ram air hood would only manifest itself on the track

After all, if you knew anything about nitrous, you'd know that it's purpose is to provide more oxygen to the mixture, not more fuel.

is this a joke?

more oxygen in the cylinders means it will get more fuel

this extra fuel and oxygen is what gives you power, not just stuffing more air into the engine

why do you think you have to rejet a carb when you use nitrous? because if you dont you are going to run WAY too lean due to the increased amount of oxygen in the engine

OBD cars will adjust for this

You really should understand posts when replying to them, and know what you're talking about before you open your mouth.

too bad that's not what I said. Contrary to what you think I said, adding more oxygen is NOT the same as putting more air into each cylinder. But, I might as well be talking to a broken can opener, since you've demonstrated that understanding my posts is beyond your capabilities...maybe quoting some other sites will get the point across

So the injection of nitrous oxide into an engine means that more oxygen is available during combustion.

During the combustion process, at about 570 degrees F, nitrous breaks down and releases oxygen.

And nitrous simply provides your engine with copious amounts of oxygen.

Nitrous oxide carries more oxygen to the engine

What does this matter? No one here is talking about running nitrous and what type of car computers can handle it. If you had cared to follow the thread, rather than engage in this wanton display of nitrous "knowledge," you'd know that I was correcting another member who believed that nitrous oxide was a liquid...when in fact, anyone that's been thru a high school chemistry class knows that it's normally a gas, and thus behaves like a gas. The only time it's in a liquid state is when it's super-cooled.

im not wasting my time in this thread, every time i say something to you, you give me back proof that never proves me wrong.

dont bother replying to this.

just so everyone knows the intake in question is now installed on my car and i can feel it sucking air from the hood nostrils....

Got the intake I see, how is it working?

I believe you were correcting me, which means you misunderstood my post too. I happen to be quite good at chemistry. 2(N20) + (heat) --> 2N2 + O2 + (crazy more heat)

The only time it's in a liquid state is when it's super-cooled.

and actually, its not cooled at all, its actually heated considerably, but this can get a little interesting. Gas behavior is fall out of the gas laws: (P1V1)/T1=(P2V2)/T2 pressure, volume and temperature respectively. So if you hold the volume constant and increase the pressure, that temperature is going to rise pretty significantly. Eventually, you'll compress the crap out of it and seal it off. Then you leave the bottle in your back seat or whatever and all that heat bleeds out and you have an ambient temp bottle. Then when you open it, the N2O jumps out causing the exact same decrease in temperature as it had risen before but the bottle is now at a much lower temperature, so you get freezing, ice and crap which I thought could damage your MAF

My comments on atomization were about water v. oil. Sorry if that was not clear.

exactly why i havent bothered dynoing it yet
