Default Need help picking my new hood...

Hey guys, I am currently in the market for a new hood. I currently have a 98 WS6 with the OEM hood. I am going to be running a Super Victor w/ 4150 Tb on top and that leads to clearance issues with the stock hood. I have been looking around at some hoods, but haven't really seen any that I like. I love the look of the WS9 hood as it is basicly a WS6 w/ the firehawk heat extractors. I would like to find something like this, but about 2" taller than the WS6 so that I can clear my intake. Any help would be greatly appreciated and pics help even more.

Thanx,
Dan

vfn makes a 4 inch WS6 hood that comes in two different styles. That might be close to what you are looking for.

get a saw, and cut out the center of your hood. you'll make room for your intake setup, keep the greatness that is the WS6 hood, and have a unique looking car all at the same time.

DO IT!

I was planning on this, but after looking closer, it appears that the carb hat will stick out the top of the hood... not totally sure if I want to have it out the top of the hood.

The setup I plan on going with looks like thisexcept mine will be 1.17" taller:

I actually was planning on doing this before I saw it... Great minds think alike
