I want to get a hood with a functioning hood scoop on it. thoughts? Or should I even bother?

 

You can always get an SRT hood. Although, depending on what kind of functionality you’re looking for, you may not like it, since it is designed to let hot air out, not cool air in.

 

They are all mainly for looks IMO. But they do look good. LOL

 

good hood.. I like mine.. a lot.. and it's functional- and works..

 

I want a functioning hood that lets the cold air in. but will settle for the SRT hood that lets hot air out. What is a good website for getting said hoods?

@drew - your hood looks good on your truck but I just dont think that the middle part inside the hood would look good on mine.

 

I bought my SRT hood on Craigslist for about $400

 

Good Hood is the name of the company that makes them.. They have several to choose from- I liked the look of mine- but opinions vary.. All of the Good Hood's I know of are true ram air, and all have a drain for water in the back of the hood (which beats the crap out of the alternative)..

I noticed a good drop in intake temperature when I installed it- like 30~40 degrees.. I can't wait for summer though, to see exactly how much it will help.. In theory, every ten degrees drop in intake air temp accounts for a pony.. I don't know how accurate that is.. I DO know that when I stand on it from cruising speed, it feeds that engine with a nice gulp of cool air and you certainly can feel it- though it's not going to set the world on fire or anything..

I had to fabricate a CAI for it, but understand my hood is intended for the Hemi, while I run a 5.9L.. I paid $399 shipped (eBay), and paint cost me another $300.. I have maybe $100 in the CAI.. I'm happy..

and by the way, for what it's worth the 'split' in the air dam is recessed- it looks like it's up front in that pic, but it is recessed about 2~2.5" from the front... it's a much subtler hood than many I've seen.. My personal tastes don't like those tower looking really noticeable 'look at me!! look at me!!' scoops.. Mine is similar in appearance to the one you'll find on Toyota's.. which is exactly what I wanted..
