Re: BG ram air mod If you do a search on BGRAM you'll find alot of posts already about it. Its not going to help you on a dyno, but it does help some when driving at high speed.
I bought mine from http://www.ls1speed.com/catagory.cfm?catagory=induction (a forum sponser).

Re: BG ram air mod Like he said, it is easily noticable at high speeds. It won't make any differance on a drag strip, at least very little anyway, but I was able to go 165 mph for probably 50 miles, with an inch of pedal left on a 340 rwhp car. I sure would like to know my rwhp at 165 <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Should be very similar gains to the FTRA.

Re: BG ram air mod I noticed a huge gain everywhere. Took me all morning with my dad helping to get the whole kit put in but it was deffinately worth it. I'd recommend it to anyone with a stock WS6 hood. I noticed a whole lot down low too, I guess just because of the colder air. The only problem I'm having is my gasket it breakin off in pieces everywhere and I've always made sure to put Pam on it every now and then too. Must be the hot Texas air <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />

Re: BG ram air mod </font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Isnt this the same thing as just removing your baffels that are in your nose??</font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">No. These baffels are removed, but that is only the beginning. You install some plastic panels so the incoming air is funneled directly into the airbox. The airbox is also sealed to the hood (removes that 1 inch gap where warmer engine air can enter. This allows the airbox to slightly pressurize when driving at high speed.
Because you are using the WS6 hood, unlike the FTRA, the air has a straight path into the airbox (doesn't have to change direction) and doesn't block part of the radiator (causing the car to run hotter).

You do know that PAM has some alcohol listed in the incrediants unlike standard vegetable oil;which is what is recommended. Alcohol tends to break down rubber over time. I don't know if this is your problem as there can't be very much, but it is something to consider.

Never comes off, requires no holes or drilling and have never used PAM. You can also use it with or without removing factory baffle or baffles. You can see it in my album through link in sig. if interested.
