Value
The Schmidt Motor Works Ram Air Cleaner is one of the best performance parts you can put on your engine because it improves performance with no loss in driveability or engine life. The horsepower per dollar is unbeatable.

Performance
The amount of horsepower an engine makes is directly related to the density of the air entering engine.
The Ram Air Cleaner delivers higher density air by reducing the temperature and slightly increasing pressure at high speed.

For each 10° reduction in air temperature you can expect to gain 1% in horsepower. Considering that under hood temperatures can reach 200°; when the outside temperature is only 70°, there is a possibility to reduce the incoming air temperature up to 130° and gain 13% in horsepower. On a 400 horsepower engine 13% is 52 horsepower!  

This cold-air intake made a 35 HP gain on a 466 HP Small Block Chevrolet on a car with an open cowl hood ! The under hood temperature of the car was 118 degrees, with the SMW Cold Air Cleaner, the air temperature going into the carburetor was reduced to 68 degrees.

Quality
The SMW Ram Air Cleaner is designed to be strong and safe at any under hood temperature. They are made from premium quality Nylon 6-6 glass fiber composite. Nylon 6-6 is an expensive material compared to polypropylene that some companies use for under hood parts, however only Nylon 6-6 can hold up to years of high temperature with fuel.

Installation Tip
 While some people prefer the look of polished metal air cleaners and ducts the ultimate performance set-up is to use use a composite housing with smooth silicone duct hose. Metal parts should be insulated or avoided as they transfer far more heat to the incoming air.

Application
Fits standard size 14" x 3" filter element.
1/2" drop for optimum hood clearance / performance balance.
Total height from carb flange to air cleaner top is 3.1 inches.

Fits 4" duct/hose.
