Cervinis concept hood with their Ram Air system... Would that work well with Ford Racing CAI and pro cal tune or would a different CAI/tune be better?

i think their website says it will work with any cold air kit that keeps the factory location of the air filter. personally i wouldnt get the ford kit, i would get a diablo or SCT and a steeda or BBK CAI kit. usually you can get those cheaper than the ford kit and the tuner will give you more freedom to change some parameters to fit your driving style and car better.

XCal2 tune from Brenspeed or Bamachips and JLT or C&L CAI will yield the best results, followed by Steeda.

Generally between 250 and 500, depending how much work is needed. I just got my cervinis ram air to replace my eleanor style hood..

Generally with cervinis there is very little work required, however I am a bit more picky than the usual consumer. I want the corners blocked with a finer edge, and the area around the headlamps tapered slightly.

Here's a shot of it mocked in, will be painted for 275.00:

Emay- I think I'm going after this hood. I really liked it when i saw it.

I should get a decent performance gain with this Ram Air hood/Ram air kit and a JLT cold air intake/xcal3 tune right?

For right now I'm only adding the Ram Air hood/ Ram Air intake. JLT cold air intake/xcal3 tune. Hurst performance short throw shifter. And Corsa x pipe/axle-back mufflers.

You cannot go wrong with any cervinis hood. Their fit and finish is incredible out of the box only requiring minor blocking, shaving and adjustments..

to get them off the sideward downslope of the hood since it tips forward as well, trying to get the pins to sit flat on the hood versus being slightly tilted.. Just gettin picky with the end result is all..

By the way your powder is finished, picking up on sunday so we'll need to square up tomorrow..

Emay what do you mean by you want the corners blocked with a finer edge?

If you have watched body panels previously you know that sheet metal is rounded and sometimes leave an undesireable appearance at all of a hoods edges. With blocking you define the edge more clearly thus giving a crisp edge. The cool thing about it is you can angle the edge a hair so that when standing to the side of the car you don't see down into the gap, the angle created by the blocking makes it appear cleaner asthetically. I am fairly anal about my vision and even though I'm not a body guy, I want things a specific way.

Do you have any pics Chad?
And did you get the Ram Air kit with it?

Cervini Concept Hood

I have the concept hood, but do not have the ram air kit. I have a Demolet CAI with SCT custom tune. I like the look of the hood...it really sets of the front, but is not too aggressive. Hope this helps.
