Can a z28 be changed and modified to perform with or out perform a SS. And is CAI better or worst that ram air?

 

Of course it can. The ram air is really no better than CAI, just looks a lot cooler, except for maybe at higher speeds, where you'd get that "ram" air effect.

aggiez28, id have to disagree with yah, with the ss u will be paying more to modify it compared to a z28.

 

if you were converting to a true ram air hood like SLP sells with the airbox etc then yes you would get the true performance of the ram air. The SS hood looks cool but it's a forced induction vs true ram air and a decent CAI does as good if not better. Otherwise it's just a matter of converting to SS for looks. but if you are going to then do it right with the correct badging, seats, spoiler, etc. I've considered something like this for mine but I think the SLP hood is a good looking hood without making it look like a pontiac ramair wannabe. It is unique in it's own respect and the recess down the middle gives it an added streamlined appearance.

 

How will you be paying more to modify it? Parts for an SS dont cost more then parts for a Z28?

 

I've got a Z28 and a SS and the same parts are used to modify both so the parts shouldn't cost more for the SS.

 

The difference in price come from the fact that an SS cost on avg 3-4000 more to buy then a Z28 & you can do all the mods to make a Z an SS for less then that. That's the only advantage to buying a Z & modding it vs an SS.
