I've been flying with Rod Bowers Ram Air for the last year and a half and over 170 hours. At cruise 75% power I can get an additional 1.5 inches of MP and I'm regularly getting 174 & 175K true airspeed at that power.
I would install it again. I believe the quality of the components and the new scoop (my scoop is removable without removing the lower cowl) make the addition worth it. I think this installation is more robust than the stock air filter system from Van's. I don't have data on any MP loss while running through the filter but in my opinion it's not very much. The airplane performs so well on takeoff and climb with the Ram Air off that I'm not at all concerned. If I want extra power like at Lake Tahoe in the summer I just open the Ram Air on the runway and then open the throttle and the airplane seems to leap into the air. It's an amazing airplane and I've flown all the big single engine airplanes from Beech, Cessna and Piper and nothing I've flown is even close to this one.
