im not sure if ram air would be that hard, you could design a venturi (like in a carburator--bernoulli's principle for you physics guys). maybe a possibility, but water is still a problem..

i guess it would be cool if you had the intakehook up there....but honestly i think those hoods are ugly, and belong on Trans ams and only trans ams

Having a true ram air would be cool for show but it's just not practical.

Hey, don't feel bad. We've ALL been there.

I remember contemplating adding an intercooler onto my intake (normally aspirated).
I remember contemplating adding a ram-air setup
I remember contemplating a 4wd setup on a Gen1 Tiburon

I had all KINDS of "great" ideas....Thank god everyone talked me out of them/pointed out the flaws/impracticality.

you CAN do anything you set your mind to. You CAN create a ram air setup for your tibby.

The question is...is it practical? For all that time/effort are you going to really see any gains? The answer is "no" to both.

But you CAN do it if you really want to. We just think your time would be better spent elsewhere/other modifications. But if YOU really want it, go for it and tell everyone else to piss off.
