sounds kinda far fetched, but i am missing the bolts holding the ram inlet down.... i think when it hits high RPMS it is bouncing around and suctioning to the hood, sounds like that actually might be it.
Thats actually the common problem on the 3g's. I dont think they are bolts that are originally there. I think they were rivets or something like that, and they always break off.
