Default new hood
I just ordered myself a new hood with some money I got for some hail damage I got on my truck.

Tell me what you think, it is a functional ram-air set-up

One of my friends has that on his Silverado SS. It seems to work well for him, he has ran a very good time with that truck for having minimal mods.

Thats the same hood I have on mine. Youll love it. When you drive in the rain stuff a towel in it. Lot of water will get to your filter.

this is a reply from good hoods about rain and there ram hoods:

Hi

Hoods have drain holes to keep water from getting into intake system.



30,000+ hoods sold over the years and no reports of excess water intrusion or engine hydrolock
