using ram air hood as intake cooler?
Just an idea, but....
RAM Air hoods (like the one on the camaro SS) don't generally do anything for performance, from what I understand. However, one problem I know LT1's have is the intake manifold becoming WAY too damn hot (water steaming off the intake etc). So, I wonder if there'd be a way to adapt the RAM air hood to act as a sort of intake ventilation/cooling system? Has anyone tried this, or know of someone who has? This is not necessarily for a huge performance gain, but if you've got a SS, and a cold air intake system already in place, you've basically just got a hole in your hood... Anyway, just a thought, since i know LT1 intakes get hot as hell - anyone have opinions?
