VIS TS Carbon vented hood - twin turbo build
https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.cor...9f76343192.jpg
hey guys, doing a TT build and leaning towards this style hood. Does anyone know if that hood offers enough clearance for my intake? It looks like it would work but don't want to make a big mistake, lol. My only concern is the front of the intake which is approx 2" taller than the factory hood. Thanks guys! https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.cor...923e7bb009.jpg https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.cor...67ce44b3d6.jpg https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.cor...967a8b0628.jpg |
Not an LS..... but at least it's a chevy!
|
Wow, that’s going to be one friggin awesome rig when you’re done!:rock: I would just do one of these VFN Sunoco hoods: http://www.vfnfiberglass.com/0513vette.htm |
Thanks CI GS! Yes, the Sunoco was my plan B. I really dig the sharp lines of the TS hood.... i'm about to pull the trigger on it unless i hear different from this thread. i hope it works, fingers crossed, lol.
|
Less about the hood, more about this car! :D Cant say Iv ever really seen a tubular front end C6, looks like a fun build!
|
Thanks crawler! It's pretty aggressive but will still have the creature comforts. My build thread is on the bullet.....lots of details and pics. Thanks
|
Link?
|
I wasn't sure if the Mods allow a link.... but here goes. Thanks

Insane.
What do you use fuel pump wise on something like this? Has to be an insane amount of fuel |
schpenxel, i'm going to use a large cam driven pump with 16 injectors. I'll run E on the street and methanol when i blast it. Turbo's are good for about 3k hp but will be turned way down while on the street. I'll have a another set of rear wheels/tires (15") when i want to play around because the 20's won't hold much power. I also built a little 5.3 LS turbo engine if this BBC proves to be too aggressive while on the street. My build should be wrapped up in the next six months or so. Thanks
|
Very cool. I'll check out the thread on yellowbullet as well. There are some absolutely insane cars/builds/knowledge on that forum.
|
Amazing build as always, but to answer the original question, I don't think it will fit under that hood.
|
Thanks unreal and schpenxel! If the TS won't fit, is there another similar style hood that may work? I know the VFN will fit (i used the sunoco on a C5 build) but i will exhaust my search first. Thanks guys! Tracy

The hood I'm looking at, and may fit is the https://www.sigaladesigns.com/produc...charger-hood-1
99% sure I'm getting that hood, once I get around to ordering it. |

The fiberglass one is nice too, and cheaper if you are just going to paint it.

Thanks MTP!

Ordered the HCM/SIgala hood. I know Josh B has one, and Marrisa Clark too. Fits nice. I'm going to run a tall intake like you have and didn't want to cut a hood. So sold my badass LG hood and going with this. Only went carbon because car is getting wrapped, and wrap place said has to be clear coated to wrap, so would have cost me the same to paint it prior to wrap.
|
That's cool Unreal! Love the carbon.....what is the lead time?
|
6-8 weeks is what it says
|
Absolutely amazing build....I just finished going through the yellowbullet build thread. As many others stated in that thread-those welds are off the charts sexy...this car is going to be a true one off when you get it finished! Can you keep us c6 'vette folks over here posted as to progress? Sorry to hi-jack the thread, hope you have luck with the hood! Subbed for hopes on car updates!
|
That things is insane. Going to be nutty on the street. Also...you have a lot more money than I do LOL.
|
Hey 06orange and blackdak! I would have started a build thread here but i know the BBC throws some corvette guys off, lol. Thanks for the props! If someone has the TS Carbon vented hood, please post some side pics and a height measurement relative to the fenders.....my intake is 3/4" above my fenders (measuring with a long straight edge) at approx 3" behind front axle centerline. The hood that Unreal bought is my Plan B as we speak. Thanks Unreal
