I'm trying to determine the effects of ram air induction on a motorcycle. I 
want to see how much of an increase over normal atmospheric pressure a ram 
air induction system has. I've heard that you need to be travelling over 100 
mph before ram air induction has any measurable effect on the pressure of 
air in the air box.
