Hey Joe, I like the looks of the Cervani Stormin Norman hood. We are going to get one for my dads 98 GT Rag, his hood is cracked anyways, and he got a crappy repaint job.

I was seriously thinking of getting one for my car, maybe the shorter version. My hood is tweaked in the front anyways. So..

I probably have to agree that the "ram air" effect is probably mild. Cervani claims about 20 hp at speed, I have seen similar claims for the GM kits too. At least it probably works good as cold air intake. 70 MPH cold air is better than sucking from the fenderwell, and much better than inside the engine compartment.

Hadn't considered the heat retention issue with the smoothed metal intake pipes. Maybe the rubber is better?? Anyone make injection molded ones?? I know many Impala SS owners make a kit out of PVC pipes!
