Ram Air
Soo, what can you tell me about ram air hood packages, i love the sound, but what exactly happens when it "kicks in", and is it worth it?

it's bullshit. ram air doesn't mean a damn thing. see the thing about it is it's supposed to act like a hoodscoop does.and a hoodscoop takes air in, and allows it to flow better into the air intake. problem is most air intakes either have a box around them and direct air flow. or they are open to the air but the air flows to them regardless of a hoodscoop. so in the end what does raim air do? not a whole log. because all it is, is a hoodscoop. and all that means is it allows direct flow of outside air to the intake.
true ram air would be a turbo. a turbo takes in outside air, cools it off, and then pushes it dorectly into the engine. that would be a ram air system of sorts. and when a turbo kicks in (usually around 2500-4000 RPMs for the most part) you'll feel a sudden speed burst and acceleration increase.
