Got the hood cut yesterday. Actually, we cut off more than what we needed but I wanted a vent for the intake manifold top. I know, TTIWWP so here are a few:
I need the scoop otherwise it will have a hole in the hood. I will be using the scoop so that cold air comes over the top of the intake manifold to keep it cool.
Well, with the same engine and transmission on my firebird, I made 411HP at the wheels. Since mycar was wrecked, I extracted the tranny, engine and transplanted it into a 91 Vette which was the last year of the L98 engine.
Spank, I don't follow. C4s have been running TPI for quite a while without clearence problems from the factory. In fact, I believe they ran TPI from 85-91. Why would yours be any different?
Of course, you can run the Accel Superram without any hood modifications.
Guess I was kind of vague. I was looking hard at the Holley. Hood issues with IT, are why I stayed with a stock type TPI.
My hood closes and you don't have to cut that much off. I did it just so when I am driving the cold air comes thru the hood scoop and cools down the intake. I will get a painter to try match the rest of the hood when he paints the scoop. Total cost is about $150 for the paint and cut work (cash) and about $200 for the scoop from another person who changed his mind about the project
