I read somewhere that it was blocked off for the 87+ cars because it was pretty much useless for fuel injected cars, but would it at least work to vent heat or something?

Sure, why not?

the same place said that the 87+ cars the bulge was covered with a plate, and that's it. which is cool cuz its only held in by 2 bolts

The scoop block off plate is held on with 4, 9/32s or 4, 7mm bolts. The only drawback is under certain rainy days the heat can come out and fog up the hood a bit.

that would be interesting. i have an 83 T/A with the power buldge hood and it's functional. has the solenoid and breather rubber gasket. would be interesting if you could somehow route an air intake up there on a fuel injected car.

It can be done but it has some restrictions in doing it.
Just a FYI for those that dont know, in 82-84 there was a carb and a Crossfire Ram Air option on the T/As.

actually the carb ram air was only 83-84. the 83 carb cars had either a flat firebird hood (very early 82s) or the turbo style hood but a non functional air cleaner. the functional air cleaner debuted in 83

I knew there was a lil twist on the early 82-3 years but there are 2 RA setups used, carb and ceasefire. I have the hood parts for both systems.
