Default Which hood?

I am doing an LS1 swap into my 95 z28 and I am still trying to figure out how i want to do the intake setup.

I have seen the ram air setups and that would be fine but i am more interested in a hood scoop. And i dont want to use the LT1 intake setup cause its horrible lol..

So i am looking into which hood i could use? I want a functional hood scoop or cowl, but i dont know which one can yield the most efficiency? Also, i am thinking about making my own hood scoop on the stock LT1 hood.. Idk any ideas?

The LS1 is getting stroked out to a 383 with a big cam, ms4 size, headers, exhaust, LS6 intake, and im still looking into heads.. So i want the engine to breath really well.. Thanks

the LT1 SS hood ir more of a ram air hood than the SS hood, plus you have less chance of gettin enough water in your intake and then the engine lol it's either that or go with the Ultra-Z hood and it lets air the same place as a T/A WS6 hood
