it is possible to run the ducting, but finding a hood made for the LS1 camaro that is set up the same way might pose a prob

I don't know how functional they are but the scoop sucks air. Up here in Northern Michigan every 2-3 weeks I run my car for about a half an hour in the winter. I noticed my car cover seems to want to get sucked into the scoop on my 02 SS just idling. So I got my daughter to snap the throttle and it REALLY wanted to get sucked in. This would make an interesting test instead of arguements. My HP Tuner AIT says it's working compared to underhood heat. Anyone have a chassis dyno? Gentlemen, start your engines.

on my 2002 ws6 i debaffled the hood and got some weather striping and sealed the hood to the lid. its definatly functional. look through the hood and you can see straight through the lid.
