Question ram air hoods

I've been using the search tool for a little bit now and I have not found what I'm looking for. I'm looking for Ram Air. I've looked at K&N FIPK and SSRA and FTRA and SLP lids and so on. This is not what I'm looking for.

The WS6 hood has some excellent nostrels on the front that just seem to beg to be used. does anyone make a lid that utilizes thes scoops as ram air? Do you know what I'm talking about? Instead of drawing air from underneath the car, it would catch it from the hood scoop like the "ultra Z" hood or the "ws6" hood.

Any ideas if this is possible? any ideas if this would work as well as ssra? Personally I would think the air over the hood would be cleaner than the air that's close to the ground. (puddles, dust, etc.) Surely I'm not the first to think of this, and as yet no hood scoop ram air kits. Is there a reason I don't know?

I sealed my airbox, and it is 1/3 of the cost of the BGra

I just punched out the baffles. I run my WS6 hood wide open with a Whisper Ram Air.

Yep the BG ram air is what i'm looking for, thanks. SLP should follow up and make one for their Ultra Z hood on the 'camaro. I think this setup will work just as well as the under car ram air, what do you guys think?
