This person cannot even spell well enough to pull off an impression of some education/competance. I believe that I will pass on this excellent opportunity even if I would like a bit more horsepower.
What planet are you on? Please show me the dyno on your 35% gain. Is that a cheese grader with duct tape or is there some kind of scientific fact that the engineers at Pontiac developed. I doubt that you will meet your reserve price but nevertheless did you consult with Curly Howard upon the design?
Can't wait to see if this idiot actually responds.

To me this device looks like a great " bug " collector unit. Imagine how often your air doesn't flow in after a 2 hours drive because of all the bugs stuck on it.... lol

For the dyno runs, they had to mount the dyno on the front end of the bed of a flat bed truck. Then they backed the Fiero on to the dyno so the car faced towards the back end of the truck. They then drove the truck backwards at 100 mph so they could get the true effects of the ram air effect. They had to do this so the cab of the flatbed didn’t block the air flow.

3 - 5% is a blatent lie as well, ram air is nothing more than an advertizing strategy, has no measurable performance gains what so ever.
Actually "Ram Air" as in how Pontiac uses it does provide gains. Pontiac calls it "Ram Air" but what it really is, is a cold air intake. In terms of the 90's Trans Am's and GTO's it was sealing the hood scoops to the air filter assembly. Thus making it a cold air intake which has been proven and measured to actually make gains. The problem is that some people think "Ram Air" as it applies to aeronautical fields means creating boost by ramming air in. This is not the case on how Pontiac defines it. As for the Fiero, it has a cold air intake right from the factory. Adding a side scoop does not increase performance, but it does have a slight positive affect on throttle response at highway speeds.

The man needs to put down the pipe and back away quickly.
