3 inch short ram with velocity stack = most power

Most power is when you make a hole in your hood and run a short ram that sticks out from the top of the hood. That's the most power. Haven't you seen how the intake is protruding from the hood on some mustangs. Same deal.

short ram will give you the best top HP numbers over the whale *****. the whale ***** will give you a better power/tq gains through the whole power band rather then more just top end. IMO its all by what you think looks best and what you want to gain out of it.

Just looks wise, Short Ram lol.

But if somehow the WP makes more HP, then I'd go with that, and might as well match it to the valve cover/ rims.

I go for the Short Ram, coz i have a short Ram. Better Response especially when cornering.

Dunno about the whale ***** tho, Actually, it doesn't look right at all. But then again, having a whale ***** under the hood.

Whale *****. To me, it looks as if its the best of both worlds. It has a massive air "pocket" to help out with low end torque just like OEM intakes do, and it still very free flowing and smooth for the high end necessities.


Id go with the whale ***** and paint it GLOSSY black.

yup.

the whale ***** was dyno'd before and showed a loss in power. its just for show and sound, it does nothing for you. sell the whale ***** intake and buy yourself a velocity stack with a new filter.
