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.

Well if you are too lazy to click on the link.....lol......

 

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.

 

lol....I don't know much about this computer stuff either.....can I see a picture of your car if it's not to much trouble?

 

Yeah I only have one or two. I can't remember. but here is my link.

 

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?

 

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.

 

ss hoods look awesome!!
