Default 2001 FireHawk Question

It has all the SLP stuff underneath the car and it also has some type of SLP Forced Ram Air Induction.

Of course the air box it butt uglly with the baffles like most LS1's and the exhaust tone is tame.

I am only planning 2 mods.

MTI Clear Lid w/ Holly Power Shot
(will this result in less power by screwing up the SLP Ram Air?)

And a cut-out.

Any problems with these two mods on this car??

TIA

Thanks,

I guess what I am wondering is how the "forced ram air" gets into the lid!

Right now the baffled butt ugly box (as I like to call it) *does* have an opening for air at least at the front.

Should I !FRA too with the lid?

Max,

You'll make more RWHP's with the any brand lid than you do with the ram air box. I gained 11RWHP just by going with a lid and no you don't get the ram air effect. Yes do the FRA mod to get more air to the box.

The Hawk has a RA in the front.You can cut the baffles to make a direct shot.I wouldn't do a Ram air under the box.

Can't remember for sure.. but I believe the Firehawks have the standard lower airbox. If so you can add a WS6 lower airbox too...
