Value
The Schmidt Motor Works Ram Air Cleaner improves performance with no loss in driveability or engine life.
The horsepower per dollar from a Cold Ram Air Intake is unbeatable.

Performance
The amount of horsepower an engine makes is directly related to the density of the air entering the 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 increase horsepower by 1%.
Considering that under hood temperatures regularly reach 160° when the outside temperature is only 70°, the incoming air temperature may be reduced by up to 90° and gain 9% in horsepower.
On a 400 horsepower engine 9% is 36 horsepower!

This cold-air intake made a 35 HP gain on a 466 HP Small Block Chevrolet!
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 b 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.
