SS hood on 3.4 camaro functional

[trinitron]

Can you make a SS Hood on a 3.4 camaro functional ram air? Does anybody have any pics of this.

You'd probably have to get the LT1 SS Ram air kit. Probably not worth the extra cost, those 3.4's don't take in that much air at all (not saying 3800's do either).

it will fit,you may need a short piece of 3in pvc or abs to make up for not haveing a maf

hey fredless, i dunno if i would jump to the conclusion of saying that the 3800II doesnt take in that much air, it takes in more air than would an N/A GN 3800I (i know there isnt a N/A GN, just hypothetically) but if you are comparing to a v8, well, then i think u should specify...because our 3800's take in a TON more air than a dinky 1.6L I4

So with only .4L behind, i think the 3.4 may take in a good amount of air also at WOT.

But yeah, the functional SS hood for the 3.4 probably isnt worth it, just get a CAI and a non-functional hood; you will save money.

I don't know that I would count out an SS type hood with Ram-Air for the 3.4L. Actually, I was wanting to get the Ultra-Z hood with Ram-Air for my '94 Camaro 3.4L, but of course my engine will eventually be bored over by maybe 40, have a high performance cam, maybe a stroker crack installed if my 3.4L can take one, port/polish, headers.....I think I could make some power with this little block.

The 3.4L is already stroked. It used to be a 2.8L. There's no room to stroke it anymore. :(

Already stroked from a 2.8L huh? Drat! Well, now I am left with over-boring, performace cam and performance pistons as well as P&P intake, headers, etc. It's a job, little by little I'll eventually get'er done.

Stating my observations from my SS hood. I noticed zero, zippo, seat of the pants gain from going from a stock hood to my functional SS hood on my 3800. My UD pulley gained me more, and I have dyno numbers to prove the whopping 2rwhp it gave me too. ;) :D I WANT to buy the alternator UD pulley from ZZP too, but Zoomer won't respond to me on what BELT I NEED. HELLO ZZP I WANT TO GIVE YOU MORE MONEY!! ANSWER YOUR E-MAILS! I have 4 g's sitting in my bank account from the sale of my 92! [img]graemlins/rant.gif[/img]

This could be made to work.
