If you're gonna do that why don't you just do functional ram air?

ls1 lid conversion can be cheaper than ram air, I was just at the same crossroad. also IMO it looks better

$330+ for the ram air setup vs $125 for the ls1 setup I bought, there was a $209~ aftermarket ram air setup but it looked cheaply made to me

you can find LT1 airboxes cheaper than $330, you just have to look. i paid $115 shipped for mine last year w/ a K&N filter and the MAF to TB bellow
