Ok, I removed the Cold Ram Air last weekend and have been running underhood air thru this week. Average MPG is pretty much the same. However, as I suspected, with the underhood temps being around 70 degrees vs. outside temps being 20-30 degrees, I have seen much better gph numbers while coasting. .18 to .21 is what I'm seeing now. This has made it much easier to attain the results that I was really struggling with the Cold Ram Air. Test will be forthcoming. It's just too cold right now to do this sort of work on my paito. I hope to test some CAD aeromods while I wait for milder temps....
