Hey folks.
I spent my Sunday working on a truck I don't even own yet. I'm an inventor, so when the bug hits, I won't even hear Jenna Jameson come in the door.
I drew up a fully-functional ram air intake for the Ram SRT-10 in SolidWorks. Not to pat myself on the back too hard, but it's f-ing beautiful. I'll be patenting the design this week. As soon as that's complete, I'll post some preliminary renderings.
They'd be done out of 6061 T-6 aluminum, so it could be anodized red, black, or silver, appropriately enough. Plus, the rest of the engine is aluminum, so why not the badass intake?
I'm gonna guess here, but I think installation should take about an hour or so. NO DRILLING! It'll be totally bolt-on/bolt-off.
They would cost a few bucks to get made, but way less than $500. I'll talk with my machine shop and get an estimate this week. I'd be a lot cheaper for me to get 10 done than just one, so I wanted to get a show of hands to see if anyone else is interested. Of course it'd be sold to you at bare cost, and all I'd ask is that if you have questions, concerns, or suggestions, that you pass them along to me so we can get this thing perfected. The good, the bad, the ugly...I need them all.
Also, if a current SRT-10 owner could email me a nice clean shot of the underside of the hood, it'd really help speed along the process.
Thanks folks. Email me if you're in. I'd like to be able to check the Forum every hour, but lately that seems very hard to do, so email me with something other than "Viagra- Take It For Her", "Increase Your Breast Size", or "Re-finance Now" in the subject line.
Thanks!
