Ram Air - Is it worth the trouble?

I was thinking of installing one of two options for better air flow.

1) A ram-air scoop under my Trans Am and piping it up to the stock air cleaner.

2) finding a dual snorkel air cleaner from an HO engine.

Which of the two options would work the best?

depends on what year and motor you have.
ramair seems to work really well on SD and carbed cars.
I have mine integrated into a foglight opening on the pass side and I noticed more power over 60. I think if mine was SD I might notice a bigger difference but I still think the cold air is better than where the stock box breathes.

Coldair has the benefits of the dual snorkal intake(more air) plusthe advantage of cooler air
