I have a 2001 chevy z28 camaro roadster with a functional ram air intake hood. Stock airbox underneath
5.7 l v8 with fuel injection.

K&n makes a cold air intake kit for my make and year.

is it possible to have both cold air intake and ram air intake running in the same car?? or can you only have one type of intake system.

Thanks!!

 

Sure, I have the SS, along with the SLP CAI -- to be honest, the CAI seems much more effective due to the placement of the SLP hood air scoop...

 

I have the SLP package. Didn't come with any CAI... just this hood and some exhaust mod

Maybe I'll just get a drop in k&n panel filter

 

You have an SS, not a Z28 from that photo...

SLP's CAI is an aftermarket add-on, their FlowPac has a few extra goodies too:
SLP ONLINE - COOKIES ARE DISABLED

 

ls1's are bottom feeders, they get more air from under the car than through the hood scoop. Just get yourself a lid and filter and call it a day

 

It has the SS performance/appearance package.

K&N 57-3022-2 - 57 Series FIPK, Air Intake / Cold Air Intake
Is that better than the SLP CAI?

YA is saying that a good hood scoop does both.

 

I think I'll just go with a k&n drop in panel filter and hopefully get a good 5hp out of it. All this ram and CAI talk about modding your ducts is too much for me haha.

 

K&N quality is poor -- an old CAI of theirs for my old '95 3.4L heat-warped, and I returned it. Their oiled-filters have extra rubber at the edges covering air mesh that should not be covered -- relatively minor issue, but sloppy workmanship.

I would go with the SLP...

 

I'll go with the flow pac.. as long as it will work with a functional ram air hood and give at least 15HP still.

If the ram air hood connection to the intake is sealed properly, then it acts as both CAI and ram. The problem is what some manufacturers (and enthusiasts) call a "ram air". The formal definition is an intake that takes pressurized cowl/hood air and ducts it directly to the engine. A CAI is a system by which the intake is fed air that isn't pre-heated by the engine.

If I'm not mistaken, the SLP-massaged fourth gens had functional ram-air setups nearly completely isolated from engine compartment air; I'd consider that both cold air and ram, if you look at the definition.

Don't go buying a standard-issue CAI thinking you can plumb it to the ram air, though. I know my K&N takes its air from the driver's side, in front of the wheel housing, and takes a molded duct - it wouldn't be adaptable to a ram air hood without discarding about 80 percent of the kit! The ducting will have to turn up and fit to the ram air setup with a foam-lined (or closed cell rubber) gasket to isolate the unit. Its a specific set up and won't normally be called a CAI. "

Well, it might be theoretically possible, but it would take a some sketchy tubing and sensor wiring that wouldn't make your ECU happy. You would be better off choosing one or the other. Short rams are usually cheaper, but you'll get a better performance boost from cold air. You'll have to take the weather in your area into consideration since with a cold air intake there is a chance of sucking up moisture ( ie rain, snow). Also there's a greater risk of filter damage with cold air seeing as it's routed to the bottom of the engine bay.

A fully working ram air system is both a ram air and cold air setup.

Think about this one for a second.. Cold air intake just means the inlet air is picked up from a cooler zone away from the engine's heat... Air from outside of engine bay.

Ram air is again cooler air picked up on the outside of car and uses low and high pressure zones on the car to "force" the air into the engine..

How could ram air, not be cold air?

Set up your ram air hood with a ram air box that seals to the openings in your hood


^^ is there any validity to any of those posts?

 

Ram air takes air from outside the engine, which makes it a cold air intake system. Just using a ram air hood won't do the trick as the air needs to be properly plumbed to the intake manifold. A better power producing set up would be a cowl induction system as it picks up air at the bottom of the widshield where air pressure is greatest.
