Default Re: Crazy idea , but....

a well designed ram air intake would be more effective than a well designed CAI only... ram would 'ram' air into the intake tube; like in the '01 (or '02 maybe??) trans am's it gets collected at the nose of the hood and 'rammed' into the intake.
opening your hood a bit (say popping it but keeping it latched) would bring cooler air inside the bonnet but not really do much to keep it from mixing with hot air unless you directed it somehow into the intake tube. and theres more effectiev methods than drawing through a slight;y opened hood.... probably hurt your drag coeficcient enough to upset the gains.
hope i helped.
