Very few have made their own Ram air set up. Most just dremel out part of the area under the hood scoop where the 99-00 GT grill insert was, then cut open the plastic. It just ventilates the engine, but at least it does something at all.

i thought about doing that but if you got a good gust of wind or were driving at higher speeds, i wouldnt be surprised if that scoop flew right off the hood.

There is a site: www.yearone.com

They have the old karkraft ram air scoop kit. It's really expensive and IMO is not worth the money. Plus, I've heard they don't fit with a strut tower bar.

I'm in the middle of developing one now.

- Reinforcing the current stock scoop
- Air inlet swing door based on vacuum pressure
- Reinforced air scoop that attaches under the stock scoop
- 4 inch tubing
- Port attachment to stock air filter housing

I suspect I won't really see any HP improvement. I'm doing this as more of a hobby thing, and to just say - hey it's functional.

On a street car mid mounted hood scoops do very little. They mostly just allow outside air in. They are not in the right place nor are they a completly sealed system. So they really aren't forcing any air in at all. The Camaro SS and Mach 1 scoops are for looks. So I would say that chopping a good hood up isn't worth it at all.
