Search the readers rides for Redraif. She has a ram air hood on a 2.8 Firebird and has fabricated herself a ram air set up. It CAN be done. I have seen hers in person and it is nicely done.

If you are set on that hood then just get it. Worry about making it functional later. Once you have it on the car the motivation will be there to sort out any minor problems.

yes i saw the box on there.. but from what i read and understand... and that aint all the much.. the ram air was designed for tpi.. not mpi.. as i was looking at redraif's ride i saw that she was mpi.. so that makes me think that it is possible.. just have to do it right...
