If you were to run an air scoop on a blown motor. Would the ram air effect have any bearing or pose any difficulities with the operation of the motor. I am not actually thinking of running a scoop, but what I might be running will have basically the same effect. Thanks

A blower is a mechanical device which forces air into the engine at a certain % above atmospheric pressure. It IS a ram air device even at idle. There MIGHT be a slight bit of extra air go into the blower at high speed with a ram air, but not enough so you could notice a difference. :shock:

About 130 miles outside Skagway Alaska, looking for a gas station, on a valk that normally dosen't get past 120 miles before it goes on reserve. Alaska was the last state that I had not ridden in so, me and a buddy headed North. What a trip
