I'm trying to find a "functional" ram air 1 hood for a 92 firebird, I've tried searching the threads with no success. Yet I've noticed members with the hood so I know it exists. Also will the ram air 2 filter box work with a ram air 1 hood, if not I'll need to figure out where to get one of those also.

Here is the thread about the RA1 hood and the Airbox from the RA2 hood.

Thanks, that helps with the air box question. But where do I find a functional ra1 hood. Do they just no make them, and am I going to have to cut up a non functional hood.

you just have to cut openings at the back of the hood.

If you're talking about a functional RA1 hood like Redraif's
http://www.redraif.com

with an airbox, they used to be available from Suncoast Creations. Not sure if they still are though. No one else made a hood that would work with an airbox (the scoop is in the wrong place).

I wouldn't call Raifs hood an RA1 since it is a little different.
The Suncoast airbox looks identical to the airbox I have that came with my second RA2 hood, which is used in the two threads I linked above with the ASCD RA1 hood, like the one I got from you.
None of them are really Ram Air though, just a glorified Cold Air intake setup.

I tried contacting suncoast creations about there hood and I haven't had any responce yet (No surprise since I just did it today).
So the only way to get a true ram air is to get the RA2 hood. I like the RA2 hood, but I think it looks better on the 4th gen. I want something less noticable. The RA2 Hood is to bulky for my taste. But I also wanted the advantage of Ram Air. I guess I'll just have to wait for a response from suncoast for now.

Just FYI, True "Ram Air" is a myth. All of them just provide really good cold air.

Thanks for the info. I checked out the thread and learned a lot. It should be cleaned up and put into a sticky or faq (or maybe it is already and I just didn't see it). I'll probably get the hood anyways. I like the way it looks. Thanks for the Info everyone.

I have ASCD hood for $400. It's functional.

We were talking about functional as in being made to accept a sealed aribox, not just open in the front.
