2.8 ram air induction questions!

now i had been redoing this 89 camaro for about a year now i had put new front clip on put a 90 z28 v8 front end on which has like those fog light holders and i seen like a way to run a air induction threw that now what would i use to stop the water?? and what would be the best thing to make the induction with hoses or fab something together ?? i would rather run a custom cold air but the tbs induction looks better ??

Hawks makes a ram air you can use with the dual snorkle intake. Here is the Link.

honestly, i dont know about the ram air setup just because we have an intake that already flows enough for a v8. we already have CAI from the factory, ram air is a good question. is it really needed? that would be a good dyno or air flow test to run to see if it will actually net gains. does anyone have any hard data about this? i used to think about doing this a lot, but havent once i gutted the air boxes and installed K&Ns.

oh and gutting the boxes does make a difference in the upper RPMs, try it

i had done the ramair setup on my old tpi iroc,it does make a difference but only above 80-90mph.on the smaller v6 u would prolly notice a difference at a lower mph.problem with adding ram air ducts(true ram air ducts) to the dual snorkle is that u block alot of airflow threw the radiator
