Default ss hood...
in order to utilize the ram air of the hood do i need a special intake/lid...all i really see are volant intakes for close to 300 bucks...do the ss's come with a different intake than the z28s?

so what good is the ram air if the lid is covering the filter which leads to the throttle body etc?

i know all of that...i just wanted to know if there was a special intake/lid for the ss hood to make it somewhat functional rather than just looking good

Same under the hood. the hood goes into the small sut out in front of the lid underneath.
