Ultra Z completed The Ultra Z ram air kit is awesome, everything fit like a glove which is what I was after. I wanted this to look as factory as possible and thats what I got, there was no need to modify anything. I bought the hood used on ebay for about half the cost of a new one. The only complaint I have with this install is the hood. It tends to want to sit a little higher than the fender on the drivers side. Looks like Im gonna have to spend a little time tweeking it. Other than that there is plenty of room under the hood up front by the latch. "The_merv" I think I found your hood. If it fits this huge air box Im sure it'll fit over your LS1 conversion.
Prior to this install I had the calloway honker cai w K&N. So down low there isn't much of a difference. However up high it pulls a LOT harder. Kinda makes me wonder why SLP didn't offer this as an option for the Camaro like they did for the Trans am.

let me know the outcome of the air box. BTW how much did you get it for. I have the Ultra Z hood, but always thought the gains would be small switching from a cold air kit to the Airbox.

I can see the width is good, but the height might be a factor... it will be close. If I do endup with a hood like that, I might have to do the Ram-air setup. The Lid conversion works for now.
