I'm curious if you guys have pictures to the underside of ASCD's SS hood for Camaro's? I was bored and trying to figure out if it was be possible to cut open the grill in the scoop and build and airbox to make the scoop functional with a cone filter that attaches to the throttle body. Basically I'm just looking for a picture of the underside of the SS hood so I can do a little mental masturbating when I have nothing better to do. Thanks.

I once considered the same thing, however I don't think the scoop is far enough forward that it could reach the throttle body. Even a ventillation system would be restricting (IMHO). I just dont know if it is possible. ( I would like to think it is though)

The scoop on my SS hood is to far forward.......it hits like right on top of the throttle body.........

I kinda of figured it would. That sux, I would love to make a hood like that functional.

Well one way to make it funcional would be if you had a supercharger or turbo, and setup an intercooler behind the scoop like subaru does with the impreza's, and have the scoop feed air to the intercooler

My gosh man I am glad I read this topic. I was going to get a cowl induction hood and I saw all these ss hoods and I liked them but now, I am leaning back to the cowl hood. I just took it for granted that the ss hood was functional. I can buy a ram air box for the cowl hood but are you guys telling me that you can't make the ss hood functional without major overhaul?

As far as I know.....there is noway to make a descent ram air box for the SS hood.....then again...somebody might have an idea....but..I don't have any ideas on how to hook a box up. It would be kewl to have the functional ram air....but...to me....even though it's not functional....I still love the looks of it......there is one thing I do notice though.....my car runs about 10-25 dgress cooler since the air is getting in through the cut-out in the hood.....so..that's a plus.

So the scoop is sort of functional? I mean there is holes in there not just a mock opening?

Right, and the back of the SS scoop (back of the hood) is closed.....

Now I am back on the fence again. I am glad I have a while till taxes come back. I am leaning toward the cowl hood now. I know I can get a ram air box for it. I like the looks of the ss hood though.

That kewl man....I really like cowl hoods too.....but....everybody around here has them on there car/or truck....and I just wanted something different......

I like your hood in fact I was trying to photochop it onto my car but never figured out how to use photoshop 7. ha ha. My car is black too so I get the idea by looking at yours.

iroczrockz

Lookin good man....! So...you bought it brand new?? Like the blackouts on the back too... Here's my new website if you wanna check it out...http://hometown.aol.com/hoppinss/

That's a nice set up you have in the trunk there too. My stereo is on the fritz right now. I have a couple of JBL 8" speakers in the trunk and an alpine amp to run them and another alpine amp to run the other 4 speakers. Right now the amp to the JBL's isn't working and only one speaker of the 4 is working. That really sucks.

You have the newer 90-92 dash don't you? What gauges do you have in the pod? I put a pod on like that and I put in an air/fuel gauge and a fuel pressure gauge.

Yep.... got the 1991 Z28 dash..well...as of right now...the guage are just dumbies....I need to get a real set installed.....not sure what to put in the guage pods yet....were yours hard to hook up?

iroczrockz

No not bad at all. I put in the digital gauges and so far I really like them. I had to get a sending unit for the fuel pressure but I like it.
