Default can i run this?

so i was looking on the ws6 store website. and i saw a ram air kit called the raamjam ram air kit or something like that...it looks as if it opens up the area behind the snorkels on the hood and works to make the ram air through the snorkels fully functional...the delema is i already have the slp ram air kit that draws in air from under the car up to below the air cleaner. so i was thinking that if i maybe ran the two together if it would help me pick up even more incoming airflow. seems to be a no brainer obviously, but i am asking because if i ran them together one system will pull air from the bottom and the other straight in from the hood. i could see it making a lot of power, but i just wanted to make sure that pulling air in hard from two directions at nearly a 90 degree angle isnt just going to make the air currents collide and cause turbulent airflow and possibly hinder me as apposed to help. If anybody knows the answere and the answere is yes, i kind of want to make sure this is going to be worthwhile. thanks

Can't really answer the question on turbulent air flow, but I did run that exact same setup on my old ws6 and it worked well. I removed the baffles in the hood as well.
