I'm hung up on the definition of in the engine bay, since the LS1 box draws from in front of the core support. Why are you against chopping stuff to slam an air filter with cold air? You need a sealed enclosure that far exceeds what GM offered to provide a ram air effect that exceeds atmospheric. At best, most ram air setups merely stave off the pressure drop a little longer, but even that becomes difficult to differentiate between a free flowing cold air setup. I feel our rules fall short in that respect. We really should objectively define criteria for determining what does and does not make a ram air setup instead of letting our subjective eyeballs decide that something appears to be a ram air setup.
