would this be ricing?

Would it be ricing my camaro (95z28) if i put the slp "Ultra Z" ram air hood on it but left the induction system to the SLP cold air intake?

and another question, on the stock hood would it be bad to remove the hood insulation? would that mess up the paint?

Thanks much

yes, bad, both of them, why would waste all that potential you have with an ultra z hood (ram air) by keeping the slp intake, i would go with like an ls1 intake with the lid off, there is a kit that goes with that hood, check into it. lt1 loves ram air! :naughty:

I hate when people don't know the facts..... you wont get any more power out of a Ram air intake than you would with a CAI..... A CAI actualy will give you a fraction more hp.... You would have to be traveling in excess of 200mph for the Ram air intake to actualy ram any air.... its been proven... so no i dont think you would be a ricer by having your ultra z hood non functional.... its just a look your going for.... and you do have the power under the hood already with the CAI....

A - FREAKIN - MEN

guys camaros, firebirds, and mustangs are AMERICAN MUSCLE CARS....remember? products to make the car look more agressive and faster isnt RICE! i think people has been watching too many fast and the furious movies. i beleive that those movies destroyed the way that we see our cars.

tacoma KNOW THE FACTS they're not muscle cars, they're pony cars...

lol.. another touchy subject...

muscle, pony, and sports. I KNOW I'll hear for it for that one...

5 point 7, i love that pic in your signature.. that Stang looks scared to death... lol

whatever you want to call them fine with me. but they sure arent rice

im with Tacoma on this one.. really rice is hard to achieve on a decent american car.. if you start getting into body kits and strange colors and big wings and sticks and graphics.. you went to far, please rejoin us on the planet earth...

but an Ultra Z hood is a pretty good choice.. although i like the SS style a little better...

im glad that kaotik is on my side, he said it better than i did!

I know, it's great

Hell no, I hope no one thinks that

i was just in early grade school when the 3rd gens ruled the roads. i used to see them with neon lights underneath that matched the colors of the cars. i always said that i would have a 85-92 camaro when i got my lisense. and put neons under it, now what was the trend back then is now considered ricey to some people. i guess some of u guys that are younger than me dont remember the 80's when stuff that is now considered rice was cool to have.

i used to go to car shows with my grandpa all the time when i was little, he used to take his 68 Camaro everywhere, and i used to see neon kits all over (especially on the old street rods), and flamethrowers, it was awesome.. i to this day have a red neon underbody kit on my car, and i dont consider it ricey(although i installed it good, so you cant see the tubes unless you are completely under the car, unlike most cars where you can see the tube from 100 feet away, lol).. the flamethrower kits either.. those were sweet back then and are just as cool now in my opinion..

All things rice were cool/functional... they get commercialized down the road like some rock bands and rappers. Neons were cool to have...now ricey. Also big spoilers even carbon fiber spoilers, both funtional and used by the hardcore racers....but if your spoiler is the only thing carbon fiber on your car it not funtional, and under 100 or so neither is the entire thing.

my first underbody kit was a flashlight wedged in a rusthole in the floorboard.

i wouldnt expect any less from you Geno.. lol

To help with this debate here is 2 riced Mustang's that I am sure everyone will agree they are riced out.

wow...some fugly stangs

5 point 7 basically took the words right out of my mouth! What the hell were they thinking??

they obviously weren't.

or mabye TOO MUCH....hmmmmmm :sly:

someone drive those Mustangs off a cliff.. please..

There is this nasty Mustang in Charleston. It is the most ricey thing I've ever seen. It's like a 94, it's painted lime green, has a body kit, and a cowl hood. It's got stickers, and add on crap all over it. If I had a digital camera, I'd take pictures of it and post them on here.

Sorry to take so long to reply, didnt know it would be such a tochy subject...

But from what i understand, as long as when i get it painted solid black before i put it on(car is black) then it will not be rice...

the reason i ask is because some people will call something unfunctional on a car rice automatically, but i guess mainly that is just limited to things like exhaust outlets out the sides behind the rear tires through the body kit, and when a foot back there is obviously a coffe can...

thanks much...

And yes i knew about the intake slp has for that hood, but i already have cai and as stated ram air doesnt do much. And i think the SS hood is too common. Ive only seen the Ultra Z hood once...

tacoma KNOW THE FACTS they're not muscle cars, they're pony cars...
They are neither. They are classified as "performance cars".

damn, i was being sarcastic and referring to a recent thread.

And if anything Morley muscle and pony cars are under the umbrella of performance cars.

who cares.. just call it a damn Camaro :)

boing boing boing boing....

it definately gets your attention after awhile, i think Cuda needs to take the one of formula out of there tho... lol

actually, just to clarify the facts, Ram Air, the real kind, the one used on jets, will NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER work on a piston engine. The fact that the valves close, and send a pressure wave up the intake track will actually create a low pressure zone above the valve, rather than a high pressure one, this pulse does come back down, so in order to "ram TUNE" an engine you have to calculate the length of the runner to match the pressure pulse which travels at the speed of sound, so that it is traveling into the cylender at the exact moment that the valve is opening, This can be equivelent to nearly 3psi of boost. But it only works in a very narrow powerband, and may cost power in all other areas. And has NOTHING TO DO AT ALL with where your air is coming from. be it a hood scoop, a cold air intake, or a regular factory induction system.

just to clear that up :)
