Ram Air Hoods
hey everyone this might sound like a stupid question or might even be one but i'm thinking of getting a ram air hood for my '89 GTA. Are there any good points to getting one or bad points? What happens when it rains, does water go into the engine? thx everyone...

Good points:
Stying
more space for higher intakes
great flow for cold air to the filter (if you use a box and filter behind the nostrils.
no real bad points to speak of.
unless you are driving really fast and it is raining really really hard, water may get sucked into the engine but you probably never drive that fast if it rains that hard.
