What do you think of this design? It seems like a good idea but will the radiator receive a lack of air??

 

that has been done before.

 

It just makes the Camaro front end more like a Firebird, as far as radiator airflow. Just make sure you have an air dam.

i was thinking of that design myself didnt know that hawks sold something like this

 

the dual snorkel setup flows enough for a v8 already, its probably not gonna help a whole lot on our engines. i noticed a bit more gain at the upper rpm's when i gutted the air boxes, try that. and for $100 youd be insane to buy it. you can make that exact same setup for probably $15 by going to home depot and buying the stuff for yourself.

 

if u run hot with the air ducts run down, u can take one of the ducts off.Then on the side u took the dust off replace the air filter on that side with a blockoff plate.this way when the air is going in the one side it dosent just blow out the other side . used to run my iroc like that, one side flows more then enough for a v8,

 

I like the idea and I have made on out of a mold I created a year ago. Mine was fiberglass. watch your temp man, I had a 305 and it got hot because I dident have the lower schroud.

But newho I am looking for a website that sells the OEM style parts that are designated in green on your diagram. From the throttlebody to the cover that hold the air filters.


Please If anyone know please let me know,

Thanks,

Tony

 

i took my lower air dam off long time ago,was always bottoming out on stuff with it and i cracked it.havent had a problem with the car running hot though,even with the ram air setup

 

On what size motor, a 305 needs a whole lot more air to keep cool than a 3.1

 

i have done that ram air thing on my iroc with 350 and my rs with the 2.8 niether run hot,thats why i said just do one side and make a block off plater for one side.still lets air get to the radiator

 

neways do you know where I can find the ramair stuff, which is designated in the green above?

 

well i mad emine out of sheet metal at work .080 aluminum that i cut and shaped then welded, but u can get stuff from home depot, that u can use,flexible ducting etc

the green is the factory duel snorkle air box

 

I am looking for some too. I think ebay or your local junk yard is your only choice.
