Default Ram Air

Has anyone found or thought of a ram air system for the F similar to the Vararam shown below?



This is a CAI system that many vette owners swear by.

I know our cars have a CAI already but not necessarily a ram air like an enclosed intake located at a high pressure area in front of the lower grill.

I have thought of picking up a used Vararam and seeing if I can modify it to work on our F's.

I ran the tri-power on my 6.2L Sierra Denali and with tuning it added 29hp to the wheels. I would be interested in this system as well. taking a look at our engine bay without relocating the coolant reservoir no system would fit. However if you relocated the coolant reservoir the G8 or Tri-power system could be fabbed

Do you have any pics of those systems?

My thought was to remove the stock intake snorkle and run the Vararam right over the radiator and down to the lower grill.
