In a Corvette is 33 less than the Camaro.

Dave, please explain the "flat hood" deal to me on the LS1 '98-02 Camaros and Firebirds....The hood scoops on the '98-'02 SS Camaros/TransAm Ram Air cars come non-functional, correct? Does NHRA let people running the SS or Ram Air-scooped cars make them functional? Flat hoods are Z-28 and non ram-air Firebird/Trans Am models, correct? I had 2, Camaro SS (scooped) cars, a '99, and a '02....Racing in bracket mode, I always used a stock, but modified air filter box and picked up ducted fresh air from lower air dam area of nose in front of radiator, directly into the air box assy.....That's probably not legal for NHRA stock class racing, correct? Just what DO they allow, as far as fresh air intake on these cars, and what they DON'T, and exactly what changes the hp ratings on these cars? ..Much thanks. WJ
