Air Induction
The 80 Z/28 came with air induction air cleaner, I am not running one on my 80 I/S Z/28 now but, was able to find one with the hood ring. Any opinions on what kind of gains I might get with running one

Re: Air Induction
What MPH will you be running? I don't think you will see much HP increase from Ram Air. Where most of your HP increase will come from is temperature difference from outside air and under hood air.

Re: Air Induction
Our Mopar A bodies are NO faster with the Ram Air Hoods (Either years).
But I like how they look! My 69 Hemi Roadrunner ran the same with the Hood intakes Duct Taped up!

Re: Air Induction
First lets start with not all setups work the same. If we look at the best case (note these results are from a computer simulation).
60 Foot ET = 1.5314 330 Foot ET = 4.5364 1/8 Mile ET = 7.1430 1/8 Mile MPH = 93.9069 1000 Foot ET = 9.4068 1/4 Mile ET = 11.3221 1/4 Mile MPH = 118.0352 With Ram Air 60 Foot ET = 1.5313 330 Foot ET = 4.5335 1/8 Mile ET = 7.1353 1/8 Mile MPH = 94.1292 1000 Foot ET = 9.3926 1/4 Mile ET = 11.3013 1/4 Mile MPH = 118.4606 Stan |

Re: Air Induction
If i'm reading this correctly, If you claim the car a 80 Z/28 and don't have a hood with the cowl, It's not a Z/28, and only Z/28 had the 350, just my 2cents.

I was taking it as he has the cowl hood but does not have the correct setup to seal the air clearer to the cowl. Stan |

Re: Air Induction
Be interesting to see if it does much, if anything. My buddys wife had a 80 ZZ28, and those 2 rectangular opening are quite small, and a fair distance away from the windshield, compared to say, a 69 Camaro Cowl Induction hood. And does anybody know if the 69 Cowl hood really does anything, besides give more space above the carb?
