Question SS bottom of air box ?

I have a SS oem hood that i want to put on my 2000 z28. Does the SS camaro have a taller air box on the bottom. Like the WS6 does ? Should i cut the holes bigger where the hood meets the air box ? I am just curious because i want to get the same ram air effect as the SS does on my z28.
thank you !

no the ss didnt get a taller airbox (haha ) but the SS is **** poor for "ram air" if you wanna get the msot out of it get some weather stripping and put it around the hood opening to seal it to the airbox

Well im sure that the ss hood is good for some HP ! But thank you for answering my question. I was also told that it is a good idea to open up the end of the hood for more air ?

doubt it is worth any hp...the ws6 ram air with box is weak at best. now you can remove rain baffles and seal it to the lower box and that may hep

The SS hood is a joke for HP gains man, its a look thing. Seal it to the underside of the hood is the best thing you can do for any type of air effect

for a true ram air effect you'll need to get a kit like the ssra. we're currently in the process of getting a group purchase going but need more support. post here if you're interested and help us out

Ram air is **** poor anyway on all F-bodies. You want Ram Air? Get a procharger.
