FTRA or Ram air II
I have an 00 SS with a RA II hood with an air dam that goes directly into the front of the air box {I sold the factory SS hood}. I also have FTRA. I just read in another post that I cant have both. I read that I need to seal off the front of the air box. Can someone tell me which is better to have.
All this time and I did not even know that they were cancelling each other out.
Thanks,

If you can seal the hood to the airbox with no leaks, I would do that. Otherwise I would stick to the FTRA and seal the front of the air box off.

Re: FTRA or Ram air II
Hmm, I guess i'll have to put this with the emphasis that if you stick with the lid, FTRA will be better as it will have a true Ram Air effect as speed increases and the hood will be for looks and cooling.
On the other hand, I have FIPK and I just got the ULTRA Z hood from SLP to give the FIPK direct fresh air injection. FIPK being and open element therefore gets more air than FTRA (Proven on a dyno in another post). I tossed the SS hood as u did (just for show).
So I guess its a matter of choice for style and performance.
