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.

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!

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

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.

The car is a 1980 Z/28, with the cowl hood, just not using the cowl air cleaner.
