air flows into the engine compartment at speed (or else your car would overheat) ram air is another thing that doesn't work (just ask the designers of the original gto, they will tell you it's because it looked meaner)there was one video that showed higher horsepower, they didn't use the same dyno (or even the same brand) and they added a couple mods to teh intake (the video was done by the inventer of the thing)

but that doesnt explain how a car on a dyno got lower numbers than when it had a leaf blower blowing into the intake... Thats why I dont get how it worked, but I saw the numbers

because they changed things to make it look like it did better,plus no 2 dynos read the same (even teh same one may not give the same result 2 times in a row, especially the mustang ones, evidently they are horribly inaccurate)
