  • ram air hoods

    What do you guys think about them, if you purchase the functional kit, is it worth it... looks plus performance, or is it just a waste of money and i should just stick w/ a CAI?? Could someone post a link to a sight with hoods/kits for sale??

    it makes the car in my opinion. compared to my stock hood and now i have the ws6 hood makes it look so much tougher than before. it was a modd that was fairly expensive but worth it in the end.

      Hoods are just for looks... you wont really see much preformance gains out of them. I love my hood though... completely different car. :D

          i think hoods are probably the best appearence mod you can do, i just got a OEM ws6 ram air hood for $300 plus $600 for the paint, it looks awsome. it is functional but i don't have an air box yet, but i have noticed that i do run a few degres cooler becasue of the large amount of cold air in the engine compartment.

          also i would suggest that you either get a SMC or carbon fiber hood, becasue it will last as long as your car, the fiber glass will last a few years but cannot take a beating like the composite hoods. slp makes awsome hoods but they are expensive [img]graemlins/burnout.gif[/img]

            why did the painjob cost more than the hood?

            im thinking about getting the volant intake, that way my setup is a true ram air

              the hood had a small chip in the corner, and the hood was never mounted, so it had to have a bunch of crap done to it, also i got both sides painted, fuggin thing cost me an arm and a leg but its worth it [img]graemlins/bowdown.gif[/img]

                Part 4: Suspension Mods, Tires, Wheels, Headers and other Cool Stuff.
                By: Hib Halverson


                At the end of Part Three, we changed the valvetrain of the 3.8-liter V6 in the Tom Henry RS. We installed new, Yella Terra "Ultralite" 1.8:1, aluminum roller rocker arms, Katech valve springs and Katech titanium retainers on our 3800 Series II V6.
                Ultralites are nearly 25% lighter than the stock 1.6 rockers and 8% lighter than the SLP aluminum...
