I was looking into the ram-air situation yeaterday. CJ, maybe you can answer this one since you've had all the bumper stuff off already. I don't have the fog lights, so it looks like I can just take the right fog light plug out and that should be open to the pocket that is feeding the air box now. In effect, you would have ram air into that fender cavity. Which inturn would give you higher positive air flow through the existing air hole. Add a heat shielded aem filter setup and you are set. Might even help with the standard air box setup.

Ram air doesn't have any performance effect until you are already doing a high rate of speed 80-100 mph. Ram air is a marketing gimmick, alot of the f-body guys with SS and WS6 cars swapped from the ram air intakes to the normal ones, better gains to be seen.

I understand that. I was not necesarily concerned about the ram-air as much as "ramming" colder air under the hood. This would work for that purpose though wouldn't it? It should just help to blow all of the heat from the engine out from under the hood.

Thoughts????

It's not going to do anything other than leave a hole in your fascia.

Beat me to it. When the cold air intake start coming out just buy one that uses a high quality paper filter and locates the filter in an area that has cooler air. This is all starting to get repetive, can a few of us put together a faq or something that answers all these questions? Might make this a bit easier.
