Cervinis Ram Air Hood

I have a Cervinis Ram Air Hood. I've been trying to find a ram air kit that will work with my hood on my 2000 f150 lightning. Does anybody know where I can find something. Thanks.

If memory serves me correct, the Cervini's hood has the air inlets located halfway back to the windshield. Installing a ram air kit would not provide any benefit that far back on the hood.

At speeds over 40 MPH, the only way you'll get any ram air function is to have the air inlets located within eight inches of the front of the hood, or have a high profile scoop. This is due to the extreme high pressure build-up at the front of the truck.

Conversely, cowl induction hoods and heat extractors positioned near the windshield work great on the Lightning due to the massive low pressure build up in the area at the rear of the hood.

Yeah, I was looking into that 3inch cowl hood for 5 bills. I wish they had a 4 inch cowl hood.
