Dude. That's a freakin' nice setup. If that was mine, I'd drive it around with the front clip off.

Sorry for a silly question, but I'm putting the same Hexvent hood vents and was on the fence about slicing them down the middle and thinning them out because it looks like I'll need to hack up the hood reinforcement but you have is the exact look I want. Mind taking a pick from the inside of the hood to show the bottom side?

Came out great man!

Glad you persevered through all the headaches and frustration. Now hopefully it will pay off.

Actually thought you had it tuned a while ago. How much runtime on the motor to this point?

Congrats again.

I won't be able to snap pictures till this weekend. I saw your pics in the hood vent thread. Looks like you already cut through your center support when you installed your center vent. I would not recommend doing two more. I'd personally do smaller ones or stick with just one. Just my opinion.

It' definitely been way too long. My next snag is no around feels comfortable tuning a 6l80 nor do they believe it is going to hold. Debating going powerglide.

And yet another snag. My shop isn't familiar with tuning 6l80's. He wants to be 100% sure everything is perfect before tuning it. I may have a shop that'll cut me a deal on tuning and some parts on a 6l80. I've also been thinking of going powerglide and let this thing eat. My only concern is I'll end up hating it on the street. With that said. I did get my 15" wheels on.
