Default Opions please.
I would like to use the Edelbrock air gap intake. But I'm not big on the monster cowl induction. I'm thinking of maybe cutting the hood and adding a shaker. Something like the 70's Trans Am's. Anybody got pics or seen this?

Really? I thought you needed a drop down air filter. You have the stock hood?

I will try it first then before I cut the hood. I prefer to kep the stock hood look, but if I had to, I believe a shaker would be better.

If you do it, you have to grow a Burt Reynolds mustache, install a CB and let us call you Bandit.
