Finally finished my ram air setup, and the car!!!!
Here are some pics of my ram air set up. Finally got it all done, it works great on the top end at the track knocked off 2-3 tenths. Has anyone else done this to their ram air box, or maybe your cold air setup??

That looks pretty good. Do you have any pics of the hood modified? Where did you get the box?? I see you have a Hotchkis STB on top of that Stealth ram. I thought there wasn't a STB made to fit over a HSR. Are the brckets modified?
Also did you have to modify the rear 1/4s to fit the 315s??

Thanks for the compliment.
1. The strut tower brace will fit if you bend it to fit over the HSR, but it has to clear the ram air hood underneath. I used my truck wheels to help me do the bend.....he he
2. I did modify the hood using a dremel to cut out the front and the back of the nostrils so the air flows better right into the air filter.
3. No I didn't modify anything to get the 315's under the car just carefully measured the rims before i ordered them. They are 9.5" rims on the back.
4. The air box is from G&T Fiberglass I modified it and put foam weather stripping to seal the box up against the hood.

Awesome lookin' car man. I wonder if i can do that to my camaro. I have a ss ram air hood, but didnt think i could make it into a ram air cause i cant find any setups for it. You've got a sweet formula though.
