Default Ram Air Kit that runs to the grill?

Whats up guys. I have been searching for a Ram Air kit that I heard of that runs from the air box to the grill. I know there are thousands of different ram air kit threads, and I have searched for the one i heard of. Nothing comes up. Does this even exist? I think this would be a great Idea to make since you wont have to worry about scrapeing and damageing it on steap driveways or speed bumps. Any help you can give guys would help. Srry for another Ram Air Thread.

the thing that rubs is the air dam and that helps you not overheat . . . 96 and 97 were the only years of the SS that had an almost real ram air

Have you heard of the ram air kit that I was trying to find? I was also thinking of the VFN ultra z hood with a cone style air filter. That shouldnt raise air temps right.

i forgot about that hood, probably because it's so freakin ugly lol the WS6 hood and ones like it for the TA are true ram air, the ultra Z is the only real ram air for the LS1 camaro's

There was that BGRA intake for a while. Big Gulp Ram Air. Don't think it is sold anywhere anymore. I think Joe @ Sixspeedsinc runs it in their 8 second M6 LS1.

Default Ftra

The FTRA (Fast Toys Ram Air Kit), draws air off of your lower air deflector. It is not affected by curbs or driveways. If you have a Camaro SS, this would be the best product for you.

The JAAM ram air kit referenced in the link abov this, will only work on WS6 cars.

We have the FTRA's in stock. There is a lot of information on our web site.

Thanks!

I'm thinking about making my own ram air that goes to the front 2 holes, I know it is more trouble than it is worth, but anything to be different.
