Has anyone found an intake tubing combo or something similar to a Corvette's air bridge to get a straight shot of air from in front of the car?

I know the last time I tried to measure there isn't much space between the hood and the radiator support. I'm curious if a thinner profile radiator cover and maybe notching the underside of the hood would allow this.

Getting a good straight shot of cold air would do us some good...look what a good ram air setup does for the fbodies...and their stock lid setup isn't even as bad as the 90* bends and cone filters we get stuck using.

Do the underside of fiberglass hoods (stock dome looking though, not the huge 4" race hoods" have a flatter profile maybe?

Maybe you could do something by using a shorter radiator. Not sure if the hood latch and support would get in the way.

I would be willing to do away with the latch, car has the factory hood pins anyway. If I get a new hood I would be willing to try hacking this one for sure...it's warped from an accident anyway.


If I can get someone to measure the thickness of a Corvette air bridge and it is even close to clearing, I might be the one to give it a shot. If so I could take my old setup and the new one to the track for back to back runs and include EFI Live logs. Anyone have one to measure?

You may want to go to your local speed shop or auto parts store and see if they have any CAI setups in stock. If they do ask them if you can see/measure one of them.

no speed shops here

I have a fried with a c5 Corvette who lives in OK I sent him a request to measure the air bridge. I had no idea it would be so hard to find measurements of one online.
