If you want more air, you're better off getting a cold air intake. Otherwise, you can try removing the stock airbox unit that's behind the bumper on the passenger side.

A Velocity Stack will also help improve air flow into the Intake Chamber.

You could also buy a supercharger. That way, you can still use your short ram.

I'm almost offended....

How is my answer invalid? He wants to know how to get more air. You suggested a velocity stack. I suggested a blower.

Which one works better?

lol, Sorry, I didn't mean anything by it..
You're suggestion just made me laugh though. Just seemed completely out of place..

Q: "Hey, I bought a Short Ram Intake, how can I get more air into it?" - $30 - $300 Dollar Part.

A: "Buy a Supercharger." - $2000++++++ System.

That's all.
Sorry, I didn't use your "Pink Text Lingo."

We might as well not get into a pissing match about it. $5 says he doesn't do either.

I still think he could just wrap his lips around the intake tube and blow.

A $10 dollar add on to a $30 short intake...

But a small DC fan, or A/C even...

If DC, connect to battery, put at end of short ram, and use tape, I've heard it produces a lot of boost...

If AC, use a small capacity capacitor with a rating for high amperage in line, pretty much do the rest the same...

( Oh, and completely intentionally useless... )

The boosts I get at Jamba juice make more power than that.

Put a dish of protein powder in front of the fan? I've heard blowing protein powder into the intake is like running NOS, except less risk of blowing the engine, and way way more powerful!
