WOOHOO!! Finally cut out the baffles on the SLP Ram Air H.O hood! I finally got around to doing last night @ 10:30pm(dunno why just had the urge) <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
I need to paint the area black though cause it has so much surface you can REALLY tell... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Embarrassed]" src="gr_emb.gif" />
Anyway, i had put a leaf blower to it one day and when i felt the back of the hood where the air slots are it was WEAK. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" /> The blower was powerful but i could take a straw and blwo more and than the air coming out. Needless to say i love the looks of the hood and now it is TRULY functional. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> I almost think it was hurting my performance more than anything. The flow on that thing SUX! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="gr_images/icons/mad.gif" />
I'll see if i can snap up some pics but i am not making any promises. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" />
Going to the track tomorrow we'll see if it helped! <img border="0" alt="[Fluffy]" title="" src="graemlins/fluffy.gif" />

Re: WOOHOO!! Finally cut out the baffles on the SLP Ram Air H.O hood! I bought that hood for my Gf so I know exaclty what you mean when you say that it seemed as if it was doing more harm than good.
Anyways where you able to feel a diffence at the track?

Re: WOOHOO!! Finally cut out the baffles on the SLP Ram Air H.O hood! Some pix would be sweet, I have the same hood. Are you worried about any rain water though? <img border="0" alt="[Firebird]" title="" src="graemlins/formula.gif" />
