Default Raptor Hood Airbox

I have a Raptor hood but would like to purchase the Raptor airbox.
Please let me know if you have one to sell.

I might be able to help you out with that. I recently picked up a 2000 formula roller with an aftermarket ram air hood. The airbox looks a lot like that one. I will get you some pics tomorrow.

I am looking forward to the pictures! Please include basic pictures of the top front and bottom of the hood. The firehawk and Raptor hoods look similar but they are different...thanks again!

This is what I have, what you see in the pics is all there is. Filter is nasty and would need cleaned or replaced.





This is what the bottom of the hood looks like.

If you look back at the picture I provided, you will notice a rectangular piece on the right side of the picture. This would be the replacement radiator support and is part of the kit...

Here are better pictures of the setup...if you look at these pictures with the installation steps, you can somewhat figure out what is included in a new kit. Not all of the pieces are used according to the instructions, but this additional information helped me understand the contents and installation.

The pics posted are all I have, the engine and trans was sold so some of those parts were probably attached to the MAF when it was picked up.

It looks like you have almost everything to include the GM radiator hold down or support. This GM part Is included in the kit to make everything fit properly.
Shall we go to PM to finalize the transaction?

It feels like she went up to 100 mph faster but I am sure it is just wishful thinking LoL. While I was in there, I cleaned the throttle body and mass airflow sensor which seemed to help with the idle and starting but may have added a few HP.

She is a little loader now because I can hear her breathing in air!

I suppose others on here might have more insight as to whether or not the ram air increased my HP.
