Would be awesome to get one. A buddy of mine said he would do it for me since I won't have the time.

I really dig the hood, but that's just me. Some pretty bad *** passes there. Nothing like seeing the front tires coming off the ground.

Thanks! I think the hood is a bit much unless i tuck some slicks way under and have twin chutes out back then i would love it

I wish i got a full pass but every pass i made so far there was either a mistake or couldnt go full out. If i can get a flexplate by tomorrow i'll be running it wed but its not going to be easy.

I vote stock hood, but I am biased. Haha

I plan on keeping my stock hoOd when I bolt up Bradford Campbell's kit up to my car. I just need to find a way to keep it cool under the hood.

Stock radiator stock fans work well but still under hood temps will be very high. Get a blanket wrap the hot pipes. Do everything you can to protect wires hoses or anything that could get damaged by heat

Black gets my vote. Hell I don't care as long as it goes fast and makes me look good hahaha. Which is why I've been kind enough to donate my flex plate to Doug so he can go run some 8's at MIR this weekend.

When he realizes he can tie down the front end, tighten the shocks up full tight and throw 12psi of boost at it on the launch at MIR and it eats it all up and this thing goes a 8.70@160+ on 22psi with a 1.2x 60' in that cold MIR air....it will all be worth it then.
