Re: Ram air hood ..thoughts/ideas ????

ok since I'm doing other things that give me a few to stare at it ...How about this

I posted pics to help

Looking at the front hood support you'll notice that where my finger is pointing is in front of the rad...If I was to cut some holes into it that (I was thinking 2" hole saw 2 or 3 times) would allow cool air being pushed by the rad to go up into the hood support.....


the second pic is what it looks like from the air cleaners view...you'll notice the hood body line at the top and the rad, the fan shroud (don't look at the duct tape holding the crack in it) and the large flat area above that is the hood support......a box joining the hood support and air cleaner would route the cold air to the carb... this Idea requires NO visible hood mods all that needs to be done is the under hood plumbing....

I think the camaros and vettes ae using the air before the rad

Hmmmm........


hell this may even help with areo dynamics by releasing some of the air these bull dozers push...LMAO
