Yep that was a problem because I like the stock C5 hood and some of the aftermarket hoods are really high. Too rad for my taste. Plus there arent that many out there. MCM makes a nice one, carbon fiber, pretty classy but it wasnt high enough. Settled on ACI. I think it'll look good and Chris is painting it so I know it'll be better than GM stock.

Like you brent, I'm not a big fan of large hoods on vette's. But I do like that one. Like you said, not overdone.

Thanks everybody. I am really looking forward to this one. The low and mid end torque N/A should be there, thats what were shooting for. Steph, maybe.

woohoo! I am happy for you. No more engine problems after this is installed .. Just your typical drivetrain worries you know so well That vette sure has come a long ways from when you started modding her. AND if you ever get bored with that setup ... come drive my stock Firehawk - that will wake up your senses othwise I'll slap you silly with a herring !

awesome just simply awesome
