raised air box mod question

[goldcamaro]

I have done a search on the raised air box mod but I still have a question. I know I might sound stupid but where do you raise it from? Any directions would help.

really simple, the four bolts that are holding the thing to the body of the car, take them out, pick up the box, slide a couple washers down over each hole, set the box back down, screw the bolts back in, and you're done.

i only put washers on the inside...do I really need to put them on the outside bolts?

[pgriffith]

simple, the washers go underneath the black plastic housing underneath the bolts. If you put the washers on top its not going to raise it. Use 3 washer's under each bolt. If you can fit more then great. Just make sure you can close the hood. 3 was the perfect # for me.

I did put them underneath the bolt but just the inside bolts not the outside. I think that you misinterpreted what I said since my wording was a little confusing.

I have seen some discussion on this along with sealing off the front of the airbox when you have the free ram air mod. Would you still raise your airbox if you have done the ram air mod? And if so, how does this affect/relate to sealing off the front of the box?

Just wondering about this....

Of course I did the raised air box mod without having the whisper lid installed. I am still saving some money up after my bills are paid for the month...I hate bills Does this free mod even help with stocked air lid still installed?

In my opinion just spend a few $$$ and get the Cold Air Induction. CIA It is not the hard to install and I suppose you could still raise your air box but don't see the need to with CAI on the car. However I could be wrong.
