It is something that has been loosely mentioned through various threads on Camaro6, but more recently and much more discussed in this thread: https://www.camaro6.com/forums/showt...=543003&page=9

Take a look at the intake routing of a lot of late model HP cars out there next time you go to a car show (i.e. where air is picked up from initially and the rest of the tract). You will see this sort of thing. Probably to most relateable in design to the 6G Camaro, but done more properly is with Mustang. The idea is to take the cool, high pressure air and allow it to be pushed into the intake tract ("ram-air"). This is the true "cold air" way.

Problem is, where Chevy placed the inlet, even if you remove the cover, it's not the best.
