Default 95 T/A with Ram Air????

Did Pontiac make a T/A w/ ram air or atleats the RA hood. I found one for sale today, and nothing indicates firehawk. I didn't think the RA option came until 96 on the T/A. The guy indicates it is a 95 with factory hood-that has the firehawk look. But nothing else on the car indicates firehawk. I am puzzled at this car.

It's not a Ram air either. 96 was the 1st year, like you said.

I finally got ahold of the guy and he said it is GM Performance parts hood he bought from gm and functional ram air. That is why he said original. He should have said factory installed.

well. to be honest, actually riding in my friends LT1 i feel like hes got more torque down low, his seems to snap your head back quicker than an LS1. uptop, you are definitely correct, but down low (to me) it feels like the LT1 snaps your head backa lil quicker.
