Re: Vortech& Ram-Air hood question

What I want to do is use the ram air hood to cool a air to air intercooler
located in the duct between the supercharger and the throttle body input.
Looks possible to me if there is a ram air hood which can give enough
clearance for the intercooler. Perhaps the dual nostril type. Then you would
gain from using the hood and the SC. I do believe, however, that the K&N
cone filter on the SC input could be ducted to the opening on the left of the
radiator on 97-99 models. Also I haven't heard a SC running but I hear they
"whistle while they work". If that whistle is heard at the input filter, and
one didn't want it to be heard, (as in sleeper) maybe run the input through
the stock filter box to quiet it down?
