93-97 hood question

[dwrock1]

Is there a way to knock out the fake vents in the 93-97 hood and actually work with a gain of horsepower?

I was thinking about that, but i dunno. Since they're in the back and our intake is in the front. I don't think the openings are really big enough to do anything, even if you can fab something up.

you have to get a new hood and a ram air system

[dwrock1]

its a cool concept but i didnt know if someone had already done or if it was posible at all

[dwrock1]

why a new hood cant i just use the one i have

[DiabloGT]

then you might have to vut out those small holes, and make your own custom ram air kit, then it might work

to get to the vents, you have to remove the fire retardant under the hood, and they unbolt. the best thing that would happen from opening up the scoops is that it would allow colder air to flow on to the intake manifold. it wouldnt give you a ram air effect or anything, but it might give you slightly cooler intake temps.

i had been thinking of this for quite a while, but i dont think that it is very practical. you wouldnt get much air flow into the vents because of their position and size. they are mostly for looks, i wouldnt give it a second thought...

wont see any performance gain, but might keep underhood temps a little lower. If you drive in the rain a lot of water will be pushed in there.....

exactly...

you could install some type of flaps or doors that open from the wind when the car is moving.

better yet, hook em up to a vacuum line so the pop up when you hit the gas...

[LT1MAN]

thats a pretty good idea

[Chevyracincamaro]

im full of them...

[ridge_runner]

then rain will still get in there while your driving.....

[Savage Messiah]

maybe a dumb question but hoods with scoops, why doesnt rain get in those? or does it
