Default Hood struts
Has anyone found one brand is better than another? Hood begins to fall down after a few minutes when I'm working on motor. Drives me crazy.

+1 on horsepower's prob here as well. I asked this a while back and got a great recommendation, but I can't find the darn post to ref back to. Autohausaz has a good deal on a pair, but it says they might have to be modified(don't know) on a Vette installation. Anyone????
