I might. But the ram air effects nothing while on the dyno.
So this set up is for testing The effects of over sized ram air at speeds.
And to get rid of the God awfull crazy hood I used to have. LOL.

Most Dynos usually put a pretty powerful fan infront of the car.

How much Timing Advance are you currently running?

Hey, that's my strategy!

Polished does not compare to chrome. Even the best polished aluminum is 85% of chrome on its best day. A week after you polish them they look about 50% as good as chrome, lol

it's also far lighter. easier to maintain. not prone to pitting.

yeah right. It is certainly not far lighter just because it isn't chromed. Have you actually researched into how thin chrome is?

"Decorative Chrome Plating is actually a thicker (.0008/.0012”) Nickel plating followed by a thinner (.00001”) Chrome plating to protect the Nickel plating from pitting and peeling. "

Chrome is a LOT easier to maintain than polished aluminum. You have obviously not owned chrome wheels.

Agree with Forest on this one. The problem with the stock chrome wheel peeling is that Mitsu used a two piece wheel, chromed both pieces and then pressed them together and welded the seam on the back. The stresses on the press fit in front create weak areas that peel over time. My Volk wheels have chrome center sections but they are bolt on so no issues.

hey Jim, since we are on the topic, do you think this cleaner is safe for chrome?

I have a set of re-chromed 95 TT wheels now and I don't want to mess them up.
