Hi folks. I bought this F-150 SCREW in June. It has a ram-air hood, but the actual intake is stock, except for the Gotts mod I did. Can anyone tell me the manufacturer of this hood (can't find it stamped anywhere) AND where I could find an intake to mate with it.
On a related note-there are no mods to my engine or exhaust. What benefit, if any, would I get from a ram-air intake? I do hope to get a Gryphon from PHP soon.

 

If those are holes in the bottom, then yes its functional.

 

do you have any pics of it further away. with the hood closed. i like it.

and yes it looks functional to me.

 

Full pic attached.

The hood is definitely functional, but I haven't seen an intake that would fit it. Not sure it would be worth doing anyway. Lot's of people seem to think that CAI is useless on a stock truck. I assume that would include ram-air also.

 

The location of the scoops on that hood are in a low pressure area and while it would apear to force more air in at speed the real efect is just the opposite. a true ram air intake is best located near the wind shield facing to the rear or lower down on the front of the vehicle. that hood does look nice tho Bubbabud

 

CAI is a little different than ram air. Ram air is a forced induction type of setup. Similar to the purpose of a supercharger, just not near as effective.

 

that hood is awesome looking. i want one. are they expensive?

 

f150corey-dunno. Was on there when I got it.

chromefonica- thanks for the info. But what's the benefit of ram air? I sure wouldn't want to spend money on it for no benefit other that just being able to say I have it.

 

first off your engine would be provided with cooler air because it would be coming from outside of the engine compartment. that will give you a little more horsepower. second, the air would be forced into the intake. more air=better combustion=more horsepower. if you have ever watched any bracket drag racing, most people will put ice bags on top of their intakes in between passes so that the air is as cold as possible when mixed with the fuel.

 

I think I may have found your hood. Here is the link...
