That is a sweet ride! I love that hood.
Do you have any problems with rain getting through the hood causeing problems?
I am wanting to get a ram air hood but we get some pretty nasty rain storms here which worries me.
I believe that since the ram air box is a direct shot to the throttle body that it would be a bit better? As Raiderjay was saying, the holes he had on his hood abrupted the flow a little bit due to their small diameter. I say if you don't have a functional hood scoop, the classic tubular intake is better, but if you have a fully functional scoop, then the ram air box is better in that case.
Hey RaiderJay6. I just wanted to know where you got the blue filter in the box? Can you get them in different colors? I'm sure the box is customized, but the only filters I've ever seen in those looks like a traditional K&N filter.
Raiderjay, monster hood buddy. Love it.
So If I am planning on putting in the functional monster hood scoop like that, then I do not need a cai. I can get the set up like yours and get better results.

Already checked ramair does not have one in my year, 00. but I did find one at www.Techhoods.com but they were 790.00 not counting mail in rebate. That is not painted. Only had a 2" opening.
That is interesting Raider jay. Great input. Especially for me cause I am now looking for a hood. I just posted a thread for replacing the windshield and hinges on my 00 dodge ram. cause I bought it messed up where the previous owner had the hood fly up and crack windshield. lol. So that was great timing.
I'm looking for some kind of a intake too. I'm really considering the ram air box. The hood on my '05 is the same as an SRT-10 hood. So I should be good with buying just the box. That's what hood you bought isn't it, RaiderJay6?
On the other hand, I have a buddy who wants to trade me a traditional CAI for a BullyDog programmer I have. I'd just about trade considering I was wanting to upgrade to a Predator anyways, but he doesn't have a factory intake, so I'd have to give him mine. No big deal, but I just like to keep stuff like that. I know, CRAZY!!! lol.

oh ok. wow, that is a nice hood. mine is just the regular srt-10 hood. where did you find the srt-10 intake? Does that go with the factory intake or is it all aftermarket?? Thanks a lot.
That's about what I figured. Just like everything else they make, right?? So do you think that there would be enough clearance for the Ram Air Box with my hood?
Do you like the BFI that much better than it?
I've got the Suncoast ram air hood, and it can actually use the stock air box, with a drop in filter you've got lots of flow. I know they make a hood for the '00 years. I like it cuz there's the center heat extractors with the intake scoops on either side. There's also drainage holes at the back and corners of the intake/exhaust wells so there's no issues with water running into the filter or onto the more sensitive parts of the engine compartment.
Here's the air box location, and the cut out is cuz I installed my own CAI, not the K&N that they use. You can see one of the heat extractors to the right of the intake.
In the picture above - See the square hole that looks just about the size/location of your factory air box? The hood has air channels in it that allow air from the scoops over to the air box and then through the pipe and over into the intake. It seems to me a more tortuous path (unlike RaiderJay's ramair hood that feeds directly into the filter on top of the intake) but it still works.
