ok i have an 84 camaro i blew the trans in, so im doing a bunch to it right now and i just installed a new intake and its a performer rpm. and its the one that is a inch taller then normal rpms. problem is my 2in cowl hood no longer fits with it when i put the carb and air filter on. does anybody have a picture of a car with a 4 or 5in cowl so i can see which i like more

Thanks, Ryan

 

there are tons of pics out there.. hit the search button and go find em.. always do a search and you will find what you are looking for..

 

is it the performer rpm air-gap? I dont see how that intake won't fit on a 2" cowl. Are you running a drop base air cleaner? I can fit the normal performer rpm intake, 650dp, and air cleaner under a stock hood. But my sig pic is a 4" cowl, but I have a much bigger setup than what you're talking about.

 

how can your setup not be able to fit under there?? i have a vic jr. with a 1" spacer (about 5/8" taller than an airgap), a 750demon, and a 9/16th inch raised base 14"x3" extreme filter.. the wing nut for the air cleaner barely clears my scoop.. and its maybe 2.5" at that part..

 

idk guys i have a new performer rpm intake a holley 650 and a k&n air filter and the hood wont close and i belive its a 2in. its the third gen ram air that looks like an old mustang hood like the machs. ill take pictures when i get home its not all togather yet tho so maybe it will fit but i dont think so

 

https://www.cervinis.com/product.aspx?car=1&id=1126#114 the second hood on that page is the one i have. i think its a 2incher it might not be but idk.... im at my dads house right now when i go home i will look at it till then here are some pics of my car. http://s86.photobucket.com/albums/k1.../The%20Camaro/

 

that doesn't look like a drop base air cleaner from those pics. Did you try looking to see if there's a brace under the hood that the air cleaner is hitting that needs to be cutout?

 

yea i didnt see anything but the way it sits the hood is just set on there so maybe when i put the hood brace or whatever its called. (lol im am drawing a effing blank here) it will lift the back enough but i dont think so we will see

 

you need a drop base air cleaner. i have a performer rpm intake and a 700 double pumper and a 14x3 DROP BASE air cleaner all under a stock hood with no problem. ill take that hood though if you wanna get rid of it

 

I run a victor Jr. intake and a Holley 750 double pumper with a 14 inch drop base air cleaner under my stock hood also.

 

damn idk why im having so many problems then. but thats a clean lookin car 1fastz

 

I had the same problem with my 85'. i ended up cutting a hole in my stock hood, and just letting it sit like that. But with a 1inch spacer, it only sticks out maube a 1/2 inch, and i dont have a drop base.

 

Just get a drop base cleaner and you'll be fine. That's the only "Ram Air" hood that should ever go on a Camaro, I hate seeing Pontiac hoods on a Camaro. 4-5" cowls on Camaros look too overdone and lame.

 

Thank you very much

 

i agree noahthepurdy the pontiac ram airs on and third gen i beilve is just ugly and yea big cowls do get sick but then again i kinda like them depends on how the car is done

 

ive got a 4", on a bird, i can fit a drop base filter with a 3" filter under the stock hood no problem. i have my filter sitting high, because i eventually and going to seal up the bottom of the cowl from the engine bay and take advantage of some colder air.

 

nice TA! but please drop it, then it will be just about perfect.
