Yea, you only need to get close to 1224km/h, and you can start building some pretty sweet boost 😃

If you look at a ram air setup for some american cars you can get from the dealer, its a hood with a scoop or two, internally ducted within the fireglass hood to where the airbox normally is, you take the top cover off of it, and when you close the hood it seals over it where the upper cover yoused to be, over your drop in K&N filter, when you go over 200 that probably makes a decent difference in response
