CAI or Ram Air???

Guys I may do a CAI cause it won't effect driveability or reliability or I could save little longer and have "factory" ram air put on it...what to do and why?

I'd buy the hood. There's a camaro/firebird place close to my house that gets that stuff all the time I could pickup the hood for probably 250 bucks (do'nt know for sure though cause I've never actually checked) At one point a friend of mine was wanting to do it, and they would put the whole thing parts, labor etc from a factory car for 1000 bucks.

just as trey said, the ram air system system isn't good. Espically in the SS style. IMO the stock intake would be just as good as the SS ram air. It is crap.

i wish I had taken thermodynamics and stuff already. i think i'm gonna major in it. anyway-
as a good rule of thumb, you want to catch the slow moving air, not fast...
well you cant catch the fast moving air...
