Ram Air?

Is there anyway to make ram air to the brakes???

I two things... the Z06 vettes have them to keep the brakes cool and promote better stopping due to cool brakes.

I also know that when the brakes get hot on my IROC they are significantly worse. Is there anyway to run a ram air to the brakes?

Yes, they are called brake cooling ducts. Race teams use them on short tracks. You will need to get the inlet ducts and figure where to put them. Fog lamp panel possibly. Even under the radiator support, Just dont rob to much air from the radiator. Run hoses from the ducts to the brake rotors. Make sure you get plenty of clearance from the wheel and rotor. The less bends in the duct work the better the system will work. Check out some racing catalogs for the ducts and hoses.
