hey i was just wondering is there is any problems with making my scoop functional. i know under it is the same thing as the v6 hood so im just gona cut that out and drill some holes in the honey comb or just take that part out. is there any issues with doing this such as water getting in when its raining or anything like that?

Wtaer isnt too big of a problem. I would suggest using some better attachments for the hood scoop other then the few cheap nuts they use. These break really easy and can cause your hood scoop to come off at higher speeds, I ran some fiber glass down the inside of my scoop where the scoop meets the hood to better reinforce mine.

As far as a hood scoop upgrade, you may be better off getting a Mach1 scoop insert. Have you considered that? It'll cost more, but may end up being more beneficial in the long run.

As for making the hood scoop functional idea...
I have a 2000 GT which has the "V6" molded in scoop.
I drilled out the honeycomb and cut the fiberglass out behind it as well as removed the blanket under the hood.
It helps keep my supercharged engine cool and you can feel the heat radiate out of the opening when the car is sitting still.
I don't use it for ram air, but for cooling the engine compartment.
I have had mine functional for 2 1/2 years and 40,000+ miles with ZERO issues. I also drive the car in rain or shine and in ambient temps of 0-107*F without any problems.

did you remove the whole blanket or just cut part of it out? is it bad to remove it completely? my intake has rubbed against it and put a hole and its annoying and id rather get rid of the whole thing if possible

I've thought about this in the past. A friend of mine in high school had a new 1983 crossfire injected Z-28. Not long after he got it, he was driving in the rain and gapped it. The water was sucked through the intake and hydrolocked his engine. Gm replaced the engine but also removed the mechanism for allowing the hood to become functional. The moral to the story is water can hurt you. I would make some type of bracket inside the scoop where I could slide a plate into the breach during rainy weather and easily remove it when I wanted underhood ventilation.

I agree, I only use the hood mod as a functional Heat exchanger, Ram air isn't necessary for me, as my "ram air" is pushed through by a blower.
