If you don't mind the hood just being cosmetic, go with the FTRA. It grabs air from a high pressure spot under the vehicle and routes it to a sealed airbox. The hood will still have it's opening but that incoming air will just serve to cool the engine bay.

You can't go wrong with either kit. They both will provide a noticeable improvement in performance.

hey that is what i said

If you click the link in my sig, my vid will load up. I poped the hood and you can see that the front of my airbox is sealed up. You will also want to seal your lid all around the primeter, as well as under neath the lower air box where it sits on the radiator support.

Once you have it all sealed off, it will be pressurized. You will take full advantage of the FTRA!!!!

Better to just do one as any air pressure one builds over the other will just result in air escaping. I would suggest the JAAM kit to make your hood functional like it should have been from the factory.
