Ram Air WITHOUT removing the foglights?

Can it be done? Am I the only person on this board that doesn't want to remove their foglights? I want to go faster after 75 MPH and I think that will help. Are my only options the $225 SLP cold air kit?

I am looking to buy Edelbrock T.E.S. headers with the y-pipe. I am also looking for a 3.42 - 3.55 posi disc rear. cheesy@fred.net is my e-mail, send a letter if you can help!

on mine, I took 2 pieces of 3" PVC 90's and offset the holes. They hang down about an inch and a half behind the lights. I can feel a seat of your pants difference and I still get the cool looks of the fog lights.

I did not remove my factory fog lights, and I picked up about .15 secs, or about 1 car length. I didnt expect much more from a ram air kit, and I was happy not to remove my fog lights.

My Ram Air is right behind the foglights. IMO its not worth it to remove them. With two ducts 8" in diameter, the foglights won't restrict that much flow. The air still has to pass through the filters, airbox, and MAF which are fairly restrictive. I'm not saying that removing them wouldn't help, but I like my foglights and will keep them at the expense of 1hp.
