Re: SLP COLD AIR. Cant use on SS!! Y NOT?? Thanks again for everything. Very much appreciated. It went in perfect, fits nice, and runs like a champ. Inside or out for the weather stripping. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Re: SLP COLD AIR. Cant use on SS!! Y NOT?? Hey, I had the same question. Can you use the cold/ram air kits effectively on a Ram Air car without sealing the airbox? I was thinking of removing the second baffle in the hood and then doing the FRA mod. Would this defeat my purpose of getting more airflow through the hood?

What do you mean by inside or out for the weatherstripping? The big piece of weatherstripping goes on the outside, and you jam it into the opening of the airbox. There is a ledge where you push it on. You need to remove the factory rubber piece that's on there at the opening of the airbox.
In my opinion the more air the better. With the SS hood and WS6 hoods you're getting air from outside. The Pontiac hoods are designed to do this much better. When I first started producing Supersuckers people asked me if you could seal it like the ftra. I looked to see how they did it and improved upon it, and then offered the weatherstripping to seal them. The weatherstripping that the Supersucker uses to seal the box is rubber. FTRA uses foam which breathes. Also, their foam runs on top of the filter allowing air to jump over their foam weatherstripping and escape out the filter if it's actually pressurized. On the Supersucker the whole box is sealed. The reason behind sealing is a slight "supercharging" effect. I'm not sure I buy this theory. I've run the car on the street with it sealed and unsealed. I felt no difference. Next w/end I'm going to the strip. I'll try it both ways to see if one's better than the other.
