Yes, but not any lighter...May be a touch heavier.Thick material...Not racing fiberglas.

And runs the same. Tested mine with the scoops taped up, identical times. Gets enough air over the radiator. Logger showed the same manifold air temps.

The "issue" with the non Ram-air will be hood clearance over the carb..

Non-Ram Air Formula has a similar hood, but the scoops are blocked off . Clearance is the same .

From everything I've heard he will still be bad a** fast so he might save the hood swap for the next time he takes a hit.
On a side note I went out to the shop and put my RS hood on and realized I was still slow!

OOps, I'll blame it on old age, I wasn't thinking of the fresh-air hood. And I had one!
