    I know what ya mean with the Cowl induction = GM stuff... I sure
hope my Dak doesn't start to look like an S-10 after I get a cowl hood...

   A ram-air would certainly give it more of a "Mopar" look than cowl
induction, but everything I've heard indicates that ram-air just isn't
as effective as cowl induction. I want that huge volume of air
coming by the cowl to cool the engine and that incoming air.
