from what ive read in a few threads, both air paths coming in and meeting causes a turbulance effect and has negative effects. i dont know the scientific reason

Yes you want things to be sealed up as much as possible with the Chris 1313 or SSRA. You are trying to create a pressurised unit that creates the best overall direct airflow.

Sorry somewhat necro bump and noob questions. I have a stock 98 SS with an AC version Chris1313 ram air and SLP lid on the way I just purchased from the classifieds. What do I need to do to make this combination the most efficient? From reading this thread it seems I should first somehow block the ram air hood intake. Secondly, do I also need to do the "free ram air" mod of cutting out the bottom of the air box?

Thanks for the advice!

No you do not need to block the hood, and the "free ram air" mod is part of the installation of the Chris1313

Ah ok thanks, I guess I was confusing the previous discussion you had around sealing it all up. But that probably pertains more to the TA hoods with the vents right in the front. Thanks

Yes please post photos. I have a WS6 that I am thinking of doing this mod too and want to see how you get around getting this to work on the WS6 intake setup.

The "new" Chris1313 intake arrived with weather seal but no directions. Any idea where I can get a copy of directions to install this sucker? I have the AC version.

Shoot me your email address...

Speed inc used to have them on their site but since they redid it seems the directions links got left off...

Default What Kind of gains have you all seen

What kind of gains have you all seen from this setup .Just asking cause I got no gains in my 99z28 when I added this mod. Now this year I took off added UltraZ hood and Volant Cold air box and gained 1 tenth Thank that's weight difference. After 200 runs don't thank its worth it unless your looking for thousandth of a second and .01 mph.
