Default Pin on VFN sunoco pics?

I know there are a ton of these hood pics. However not many pin on pics. And I need a underside pic. I would like to see the VFN sunoco and the wide sunoco.

I am trying to see the clearance in the front. so I can see if the piping will clear. I have seen the underside of the bolt-on and the hood latch area is in the way. As I am looking at dueing a TT intercooler with a LARGE singe center out. So the intercooler may need to lay back alittle but would rather keep in straight up for better air. Either way a 4" intake pipe over the radiator support is going to be tight. As the radiator straight up but could go shorter on the radiator if I had to.

Thanks

Ill try to snap an underside picture of mine today. They are just a basic shell though. What you see on the outside is exactly how its shaped underneath.

I've got a car in the shop im building with the vfn pin on wide sunoco. From the front edge of the radiator support (pinch weld area) to the bottom of the hood is 4 5/8". If thats not enough room you can notch the rad. support and get a lot more room.

Z8'S Do you have any pics of your hood? As the pic of the Twinturbos with that huge intake tube made me think it was no problem. Then I see two pics of hoods with supports under them. And you say yours doesn't have those?

The car I was referring to has the foam supports as well. The radiator support is inbetween the foam supports shown in camaro 396's pics.
