Here is the Ram-air set up that I did using an old American High-rise hood.

Very nice Vince, Thats what I started to do a couple of months
ago but started out with a 79 hood and found that the 80/82
would fit the bill a little better because of the original lines already
there. You nailed the look that I was going for. Now I think I'm
going to try something along the same lines with a little twist, but
it won't be until spring now.
Great work and thanks for sharing,
Riggs.

The '81 already has a bit of a 'bulge' on top of the hood. If you just add the C3 'stinger' hood scoop to what you already have, it could do the job for you. Below is a website that might interest you.

The scoop you showed extends past the hood onto the nose,
Showme...with his wicked cool hammerhead custom vette has the scoop like this, do a search for him...I am on a different comp or I would post a link

The "Twin Turbo" hood available from Corvette Central is a personal favorite of mine.

A different angle.
Different strokes, folks.
