A body guys: anyone found a way to do over the radiator intake?
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?

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?
