pm'ed you

 

I asked and although they would prefer using PM, a non-link answer seems appropriate in this case (if only so I don't have to spend my day sending PMs ). Besides, the site has been mentioned in other threads - just not linked to.

So here you go... the hood is available from ramairhood.com.

 

The problem only happens at highway speeds. When stopped or driving in the city the air seems to work normally (otherwise my afternoon commute would suck).

 

I knew that the increased air flow into the engine would have some effect on the gas mileage but I only expected maybe 1 mpg. I was really only using that as a justification to my wife for buying it. The increase I got surprised me and it wasn't a fluke - I got the same mileage yesterday on a 200 mile trip. City driving mileage hasn't increased a lot (maybe 1 mpg) but I guess it just shows how inefficient the non-ram air intake system really is.

 

Im interested in prepainted stuff too, pm me if you get get a chance.

 

Damn! they do not make 98-02 SS hoods!

 

son of a b*&ch!!!

 

I PM'd everyone that asked but that was after I posted the vendor information so some of you may have received duplicate information.

 

My guess it weight more than anything else...

 

I seriously doubt it. Normally you can figure on gaining about 1% - 2% for every 100 pounds of reduced weight. The original hood would have had to weigh 700 pounds to make a 15% difference .

 

Wow, didn't realize it took that much...

All I knew is I've heard of some of these hoods weighing 5-10lbs and I weighed a stock hood at 75lbs. before...

 

And they dont make the stock RA1 hood either. Damn. That other ones hideous.

 

Nice hood, if I had money to spare I'd get one
