I would think the LT1 ram air would be better, a little more direct flow and alot bigger surface area on the filter

id just go with the LT1 hood/filter system

isn't the LT1 ram air system better?

Ram Air is a joke. It;s a gimmick. Focus your money elsewhere.

CAI system would be just as good plus no need for a new hood. i'd say the same as vendetta and use the money elsewhere

I too have the same question. I have a 96 T/A with a suncoast creations ram air hood, but I have the K&N CAI that goes down the the wheel well. But the filter gets dirty real quick and in the rain water gets up there. Don't mean to hijack this thread or nothing. Just same question.

15 extra HP is a joke?

Um, man, your getting that big *** hood right? You can use a LS1 style lid with that, is that what your asking about?

you will NOT gain 15hp from a functional ram air hood/system.....unless you're running in NASCAR, don't expect to see any gains. Just buy the hood, and keep whatever CAI system you have. The only advantage is easier access to clean the filter.

yeah thats the hood im getting (Happy Birthday to me lol-April 18th) thats why im curious cause i can get the ram air for next to nothing and i have my choice cause i have 1 guy has a spare ls1 intake and another guy has 2 lt1 intakes both ram air but just wasnt sure which one was better, oh and this is the hood its going under.... i know some poeple dont like it but thats not what the discussion is, so please stick to the topic

I just saw that hood today, looked great on the car but it looked like it could be an issue trying to see out of the windshield with it on.

actually it aint to bad got to ride in a car that had it wasnt that bad... i mean with the hood of my car right now(stock) you cant even see it when your sitting in the car

Put the money into SFC, driveshaft loop, LCA, or better yet for the price of ram air kit you can get an adjustable torque arm which will help your car hook tremendously. I can think of bunch of stuff I could get with the money saved from the ram air kit.

yeah well see all that upgraded suspension wont help me that much since ill still be mostly stock.... and for the price of less than even one of those things you mentioned i can get the ram air

Being that I have driven both Ram Air and non Ram Air LT1 Trans Ams, I can tell ya while it doesn't do what they said, you can feel a pretty big difference.
I agree it was a more of a marketing gimmick than anything.
