4th Gen Ram air

Does anyone make a 4th gen style ram air hood for my 87 T/A, I've seen them, but I want it to be functional and not just for looks. thanks

suncoast sells a kit that includes an air box much like the 4th gen setup. i think it's for TPI cars.

let me ask a question here too... anybody know if they suncoast hit would work with the ASCD hood? i like it's looks better, but would like cold air somewhere other than where flooded streets (common in my neighborhood) would flow into...

EDIT :
btw, suncoasts URL : http://www.suncoastcreations.com/2001/index.htm

yeah I like the look of their hood better, it looks more OEM and is cheaper, but I wonder if the box from suncoast would work, if it would thats what I would do

Yes you can make the ASCD hood functional I bought the Suncoast Airbox and cut out the opening in the back of my ASCD hood it works great and looks cool too. I'll try to take some pics this weekend. I'm not sure how well it would work on a MAF car though.
