Ram Air Kit on a WS6?

TECH Apprentice
my brother designed a double taker ...
he has a custom hood where the air is directly hitting the engine/filter
and still can take the air coming from the air dumper below.
i don't know if that's good or bad but i'm defiantly going for it.
open up the Ws6 hood and create a custom filter box open both sides (up/down)

So I guess I'm confused as to how the under the car ram air kits attach to the airbox then? Also, what is the most common method for sealing the hood to the box?

Do one or the other. Doing both cause turbulence and unequal pressure so the air will bleed off to the path of least resistance. Search chrs1313 ram air on here lots off good information in that thread. Edit here is link https://ls1tech.com/forums/drag-raci...ome-tests.html

Well I agree with this, because sucking up water from puddles etc is a pain. However, the fact is that these cars suck more air from below than they do from above. Aerodynamics is paramount when you're looking for inlet position on these cars...

A chrs1313 will make way more of a difference than the stock sealed ram air.
If you aren't an idiot your shouldn't have a problem driving in the rain.. If you are an idiot, you will probably have problems with a lot more than that in life anyway.

Filter should take care of the dirt... Most people say the only time they ever log higher temps is sitting for periods of time in traffic on 80+ degree days..... And at that, the most I have heard of is a 7 degree increase, not hardly enough to to matter when it is a proven +2mph mod.

Yep, FRA/FTRA/SSRA users have complained about filters getting dirty frequently for years now.
BGRA users have attested to similar results to the 2 mph figure. While I think the bottom feeder approach probably maximizes velocity at speed, a good scoop seal to airbox also has proven results. It's user preference, of course, but when you have the scoops already, knocking out the baffles and sealing it is a super simple and inexpensive approach.

I do honestly see what you're saying, since I do in fact see the point of ram air through hood ducts. I just dont' see it competing with a chris1313 as far as performance gains, and ultimate flow.
