Man the car is looking good. Im liking the turbo setup. You are going to be at TX2K13 I hope?

 

It looks like you could take two stock hoods, make that small hole (or bigger) per the picture, and then cut/weld the cowl piece of the second hood on to the first hood. A little body filler and you have a custom 'cowl induction' hood that is 2x higher than stock.

 

Or buy a VFN and have a super lightweight hood thats not chopped up. lol

 

Thanks. Yup I will be in houston!

 

Well, you said that's $1k you didn't want to spend. I was just throwing an idea your way.

 

Its an interesting one. Ill keep an eye for for a stock hood.

 

You know if windshield wipers are usable after cutting the cowl for the hi-ram?

That was the only thing keeping me from buying one....

 

Just the passenger side one.

 

So.. no passenger wiper? kinda confusing answer..

 

You have to remove passenger side wiper only.

 

Thank you..

Stock Hood is Aluminum.. not that very heavy to begin with..

 

Wish I could say that about the rest of the car lol

 

Just finish the car and prepare the wallet and the brain for future massive amounts of expensive and unproper fitting carbon fiber panels

 

had a few questions for you but one of them is now up in the air (your intake manifold decisions) the other question was what cage you gonna go for? 25.5?

 

i think im just going to run the Holley again. The intake is awesome but requires some cutting. 10pt cage, wont need anything more than an 8.50 cage in this car.

 

Update:12/31/12
Got the hot-side done minus running the dp to an exit of some kind.
