Vidal Sassoon hair dryer will work as one of the rem air blower things.

That's nothing new, I've already done all of that to my 525i, the new bumpers are great for pushing parked cars when parallel parking, and the air intake only rubs when I turn right (good thing I drive like a NASCAR driver, go to the end, turn left, repeat until checkered flag). I also replaced the sunroff with a piece of plexiglas (the sunroof weighed about 35lbs., that'swhat, 1 hp).



Seriously though, I think I've seen this jeep!!!

Ram air aint that simple, most sports bikes have it these days, my ZX9 gains about 4-5 bhp from it alone over 120 mph (thats 140bhp at rear wheel:D ). It's not about forcing air in as such but about keeping up a high pressure in the air box. Also depends on where you put the intake too. Needs to be at the front in unobstructed air flow.

AAHHH!!... The joy of explaining to people why you have all that pvc piping under the hood of your BMW.... Seriously, I think all the improvements he described are the result of the tune-up he made.... his cold-air intake is the same priciple used to build a snorkel on a 4x4... And we use to open up the air boxes all the way to the filter on our Hondas 15 years ago... I bet his name is written on his door and the misses name on the passenger door...
