I have cracked the hood where the hood bolts mounts are. I have made a repair, it has happened again. I have been told that adding a cowl hood would reduce the pressure from the wind and allow it to flow freely. i have removed the LP and added a mesh grill where the LP used to be for better air flow. Advise needed.

Cow hood will definitely keep the front end planted, but at the cost of handling and braking, plus vision.

And it will go great with a Mooooove Over front license plate...

What if i was to take a stock fiber glass hood and add louvers to either side above the tires. @ high speeds i am afraid that the hood is going to fly off. I think it happened when i hit 180. i know the other day i was up the country on one of my morning runs and i was running 130 and the hood was moving. I have to do something

So i was able to get it figured out. My car has a fiber glass hood. it may have been repaired before i bought it. I am going to buy a new carbon fiber hood that will have the louvers and water fall built in. This will fix my issue thanks

Yes it will fix your issue. This is a better solution than a cowl hood.

Wow, 180. I think I found the problem.

1) Go to the racing section for more info
2) Add Track Spec hood and fender vents

Option 3 is stop driving 130-180 on public roads. Unless these speeds are found on a closed course.

Not only your hood, but your entire body is
fiberglass. Its a Corvette.

You do realize your hood is hinged at the front, so blowing off...

They don't blow off as much as they do just disintegrate. There is a video on YouTube with a procharged C5 doing a 180mph pull and his hood just shreds into pieces. It wasn't OEM. It was a Duraflex hood he got from Corvette Creations.
