Ram Air Box and No Raim Air Hood?

Ok my question is can you just buy the ram air box and hook it up with a stock GTA hood? Of course you can, the real question is would you want to? I know it wont function like a ram air since the hood doesnt have the ram air cut outs, but would it help my engine breathe and perform better, until i can afford to buy the ram air hood to go with it.
The main reason i dont want to buy the ram air hood right now is cuz im on a limited budget am im throwing all my paychecks into the rearend and engine right now

The airbox sits too high and the hood profile is too low.

I have looked at many options for my TA and opted to run a 4" duct to a large K&N. I have a complete 3 1/2" system with a custom air box if interested.
