At yesterdays Autocross, legions of TPC bretheren dedicated like NFL Viking or Packers fans braved the elements of the wind and cold to see my intake 'the main attraction'.
I was once again marvelled at the interest level of the GCPT COLDRAM™ intake prototype. The crowds of people and admirers who wanted me to do up there cars was once again annoying, but I kept on grinning. I do stress my own install is a prototype anc customizations for each individuals ride can be done.
A few more TPC members of which did not want to be exposed, expressed interest in purchasing one unit. Despite the backorders, I still promised that I would deliver, and have hired more UPS vans to keep hauling raw materials in. Demand is exceeding supply.
One thing down here at GCPT is our commitment to the refinement of the product and listening to our critics and customers. A valid point has been brought up by a member, and as always I listened with keen interest and validated his claim scientifically.
Although, I cannot use his name* I will use a fake name for him being,' ky_Hi'. Yes that's the name. Ky_Hi mentioned to me that my location of my external entrance of the funnel to the COLDRAM™ intake may not be maximized.
Ky_Hi stated soundly that the placement of getting ram air, on the car is usually at the points where a vehicle would cut or break into the forward windstream while driving. These points would the actual bumper or grill fascia of the car. Feeling ky_Hi was right I explained that was my initial thought but choose not to do so.
My reason for not maximizing my intake to protude out so far was one of the most silly reasons...PRIDE. Since my design came at the end of the actual season I intended it to, I did not fully integrate the ideas into the refinement. Bastardizing the cars appearance for my daily commuter and keeping the new product launch under wraps was the main purpose.
My circular scoop should be replaced with a bigger and more attractive rectangular scoop instead. Next spring, the location of it will be flush with the lower bumper coming out from underneath the fog light.
Can you imagine the Horsepower and Torque Increase then????
I already have been recieving threating mail from Injen, Ractive, AEM, K&N and other prominent intake companies wanting to assasinate my 'Black John D. Rockerfella Ghetto Innovation Ass.' They said worse, but that was a tame one.
Since I did not have a wind tunnel to validate ky_Hi's and my theory, I went out to a desolate country road heading into the moderate N.N.W. winds. I brought a pound of flour out and threw it up into the air 50meters in front of my car and ran fast to see the profile of the windstream as it passed over the front end of my car. We were right. To get rid of the mitigating vortex of airstream of my current prototype design I scratched my head in wonder. For $12.03 of the COLDRAM™and the amount of torque and HP I had added for such a cheap price, no wonder I have been turning the industry on its ear!!!
Legions of TPC members who have it installed want me to dyno COLDRAM™ and validate my claims exactly of this necksnapping power increase to brag to their friends. I was wondering that laboratory results measured at the flywheel would not take into account a test of which the car would be static. My product works in real world applications of which cars move forward into the wind resistance of everyday driving. The more faster the vehicle moved the more ram cooled air is shoved up in my COLDRAM™. I also chose the rippled venting material to create a rigid and violent turbulent airflow to crash over the K&N airfilter maximizing airflow effectivness.
The only test and validation would be each individuals increased quarter mile time at the track and/or expensive computer readouts with charts and graphs of before and after COLDRAM™ installs. but down here at GCPT, simplicity is kept.
Thanks again Ky_Hi. You have won yourself a free install and COLDRAM™ courtesy of GCPT (Ghetto Concept & Performance Trends)
stay tuned for more products from GCPT.
