as this build goes im now thinking about the idea of ram air
i know i could just put an open filter on there but for some reason the zumas seem to be a big pia to tune just right with the sport kits and open filter and besides ill be makeing enough noise as it is
if i do it ill get the set up running right first before doing it
but my big thought is will the ram air effect mess up the 2 stroke pulse effect
i was wondering if any of you have tried this idea out yet or just done the open filter

I've never bothered with it. None of my scoots are fast enough. My understanding is that you need to do about 75MPH before ram air starts to have any measurable effect. Something like half a percent (0.005) increase in air density at that speed. So 14.7psi + 1/2% = 14.7735psi. It's not gonna hurt anything to have cool fresh air, but don't expect to notice much for your effort. If you do see a gain, it's more likely from introducing colder air, not a speed compressed charge.
