ram air non functional hood**
i've got a reproduction ws6 hood that i wanna make to a funtional hood. i was wanting to go with a JAAM RAM AIR KIT. but i'm not to sure about where to cut out the hood on the underside to allow the air to come in without drowning the filter in the rain. i was wonderin if anybody could help me out with this by postin pics of the layout of a ws6 hood so i could get an idea of how to cut it open and maybe somebody could give me measurments on where the cuts are and how big to make them. and additional info would be much appreciated. thanks.

I would suggest doing a search and some reading on the external engine forum about opening up the hood and using the scoops. I would rather cut an aftermarket hood than hack on the car itself.
The scoops will provide a direct shot of cold air to your airbox, plus other advantages compared to "bottom feeder" setups: less chance of sucking up from puddles, not radiator blockage, no hot pavement air at idle, less dirt.

There are plusses and minuses depending on the use of the car. My purpose is to get the OP to recognize that there are a number of factors involved while considering the options.

If you don't want to cut your car then go with the SSRA instead, some claim the Chris1313 ram air works better because it's a more tightly sealed setup but to some it's worth the possible losses to not have to cut there car up.

where could I get one of these ssra set ups? and would I still need a ram air set up as far as factory or aftermarket goes? I looked on a site for the ssra but it was showing for camaro not a trans am. would it work the same way and come out in the same place?
