BG Ram Air How many people would be interested in trying to get a GP going on the BG Ram air kit. The price for it normally is pretty high, and there are only two sponsors i know that carry it. So whose interested and are there any sponsors out there that are interested if we get enough people. How many people is enough if a sponsor does step up. Here is also the link to the part itself and its explanation.

BG Ram Air Induction System (1998-2002 WS6)
The BG Ram Air Induction system is designed to replace the stock Trans Am WS6 hood baffles and seal the 1 inch gap between the hood and the air box to smoothly transition and maximize the forced cold, high pressure air into your engine to create more horsepower. By sealing the hood you eliminate any warm air that would normally get pulled into the air box from under the hood and bring in cold fresh air which contains more oxygen than the warmer air the car normally breathes.
In addition, at higher speeds, this system will achieve a mild pressurization of the sealed air box. Customers have been experiencing 5-8 % better fuel economy from the increased efficiency of their motors.
Typical 1/4 mile gains are up to 2 tenths and 1.5-2.0 MPH. This equates to 15-20 HP increases under 100 MPH. The faster you go, the more power you will achieve! This system is made of high heat resistant urethanes for long life.
Typical installation time is 1 hour. Optional rain blocking plate, nostril corner pieces and extra replacement gasket are available. See pictures below.
Note: You may order the replacement gasket, nostril corner pieces or the rain blocking plate separately - see below. Shipping will be combined after we receive your order if you order more than one of those parts.

Good luck getting a GP on this...its been unsuccessfully tried before. Brian doesn't make much on these as it is. Unless one of the sponsors would do free shipping or something...
