LS1 Lid under Stock Camaro Hood
Got it finally...
For who that asked, here are the pictures. It clears by about 1/4 to 1/2 inch from the Hood with this setup. I had to cut a little out of the bottom of it.
To be honest, unless you have the patience, this is a pain in the *** project. The plastic on some of the pieces decided to break, so that had to be fixed as well as setting all of it up. It is just alot of little stuff that had to be done, but it all clears. The Radiator was set back a couple of inches, that is the key to getting this in one of our cars. Anyone with the Ram-Air Hoods have no problem with the actual LS1 Radiator shrouds, but for the Stock Hoods, you have to move the Radiator back.
The Hood is Red, eventhough the pic shows like it's purple.

hey man i got a couple of questions.
How do you get the lid off now? Do you undo the sheet metal
Whats the clearance like now with the radiator & fans?? How far do they sit away from hoses & the waterpump and are there any cooling issues with it sitting back futher?
Did you use anything different to direct the air up into the lid?
Last can you take the lid off and post some pics of what it looks like underneath and how much cutting had to be done?
Thanks for the help im interested about doing this on my LT1 as well.
