Hey guys,

Update on my accident..I plan on getting the car to the shop shortly. I have decided to buy a RA2 hood. I just need some pics. First, i want a pic of the hood as seen from inside the car..Also, If anyone has pics of the hood with a 86 t/a spoiler.Preferably the black one but if its painted, so be it. Thnx in advance,

-Adam

 

 

wow zepher, that was quick and exactly what i was lookin for. Im pretty sure those vents in the back werent there when you got it right? does anyone have a pic with the solid rear?if it comes that way....Sweet..Again thanks, and if there are any others..

Heres one of mine and if you click on my cardomain in my sig i have all the pics you could ever want in black.

 

Those vents in the back are stock on the ASCD hood. The Ram Air Hoods one only has a couple of holes in the back.

 

Mines from hawks and it has the cut outs just not any screens

 

Are the vents in the front of the hood working or sealed?

 

Mine are open

 

mine are open too .

 

does anyone know if the camaro ss hood has an open vent in it?

 

is their anyway we can talk you out of the ram air 2 hood, i dont think it will look good on your car.What about the ram air 1 or a cowl hood , or just the stock ta hood.

 

I want to see some people start doing the shaker hoods

 

Go RA1 hood,

 

Im just not a fan of the RA1 it looks like someone pancaked a cowl hood.

 

Hey but its cool the first time i drove my car with my hood i had a hugh smile on my face. I was thinking my cars got ***** woot

 

You wont get it to line up without major hassles and problems. I recently got rid of mine but heres a pic to show what sux about fiberglass.

 

It was a tough decision on weather to get RA1 or RA2. Still sketchy but most likey a RA2... the main reason being i think it looks mean as hell and im in a way copying my dad 01 t/a and i thought it would look sweet together. Anyway, as per my last few posts you guys realized that the car will be goin into the shop.... Shoudl i have them order the hood? id rather do that since its one bill.. As far as fitment goes, ill let the shop tinker with it. Anyway, Thnx for the pics, more are always welcome, if someone could possibly show me the underside as well, that would be sweet. And does someone have pic like the last one but with a front plate?i kno its a stupid request buti still might put the plate on when the car is finished

Heres an underhood shot the only thing it doesnt show is behind the snorkels are 2 oblong circles cut out

 

Im not familar with Ram Air for a 4bbl.
How much horsepower could be gained with
a ram air hood or cowl induction? or both I guess.

thanks

 

Is that my old hood??? Looks good!

Really "RAM AIR" is just a term dreamed up by the marketing people years ago on the 70's ram air trans ams

The benifits comes from the cooler outside air vs. under hood hot air. Now at speeds well past 100 mph you may get some benifits of "ram air"

but in gen air temp is worth 1% power for every 10*

Say like under hood air is 185* and its an 85* day out side. If you are taking in the air from outside (85*) thats a 100* diff.

Thats 10% gain in power

200 hp = 20 hp gain
300 hp = 30 hp gain
400 hp = 40 hp gain

You get the idea..

Now this only works if it's a true sealed cold air intake, so you block all under hood air from getting into the carb.. Only air the carb can suck in, is the outside of engine bay cooler air
