How does banks ram air intake system work?
Proven performance. Thanks to its enclosed cold-air housing, huge inlet, giant filter and streamlined design, Banks Ram-Air Intake maximizes the flow of cool, dense air to the engine for greater power and fuel economy. It flows up to 116% better than stock.
How does a stock intake air system improve I.D.?
In a diesel, the turbo improves I.D. by compressing the air. The intercooler improves I.D. by cooling the air. The stock intake air system decreases density by de-compressing and then heating the air. We want to minimize that loss of density.
Is it better to tune an engine with banks?
