Default Ram Air

I am looking at making my own Ram Air intake since I dont think the volant one is very good. Attached are the pics of where I plan he intake to be and the hole on the bottom of the volant box. Any ideas?

Take a look at this. I am thinking about it. I am also thinking of the hood as well. God would it look bad ***.

Try this, http://www.carolinaclassictrucks.com...-GH-GBXV8.htmlalthough after looking at the pic I honestly don't see much advantage to using this over a regular CAI

I had a functional ram air hood from suncoast performance and it was almost the same set up as this. I took it to the local speed shop to see how much flow it was getting and boy was i disappionted. The snorkels were on the front of the hood and not on the back by the windshield. we tested it and decided that the best functional setup would be with a cowl that faces the windshiled as the most air flow is acctually up there. another great place is under the front.

Smoke if you figure out how to build that scoop let me know cause I want to do the same thing. The volant one will not work with my ss front end they tell me so guess I have to go to the drawing board

You could just remove your headlight and save $1000...

I want something I can use everyday. Taking the headlight in and out just isn't gonna work.

VeraRam makes a kit that pulls fresh air in from your grille. Under $400.
