ok thanks. yeah I'm either going to go with "346 c.i." or "420RWHP" on my WS9 outlaw hood. some say it's a little cocky and they prefer the sleeper look, but if it's that bad then why is the flywheel HP numbers on the true blackbirds??? I don't think the GMMG guys who built those are lame.

That's for sure. It's all about personal preference. Last night I sat down and ordered the Blackbird-style Ram Air black solid stripe set for my WS9 hood. I also think I will order 346 CI decals for the area just behind the front tires ... not real subtle ... maybe 3/4" letters or maybe smaller.

Well I agree with Jerimiah. I think some of us have put WAY too much blood sweat tears and hard earned money into this hobby just to reply, (when someone asks), "So, How much HP does it have?"...Uh, It's got "enough", hyuck hyuck hyuck.

As HP and F-Body ENTHUSIASTS, why not talk about it, instead of hiding it like we are such mysterious psuedo-stealthy-sleeper-street racers.

A little badge, Flywheel HP, no ego, just the norm. And yes, the scoop is perfect for it on the SS. I'm either going with a 402 CI badge or FWHP.

Peace,
Ram

Could not have said it any better ... hehe!!! ... just got my solid Blackbird-style stripes with Ram Air lettering. I saw a red T/A with the 'pin stripe' style ... wished I had ordered the 'pin stripe' version. I lucked out. LOL!!! They sent the pin stripe version instead of the solid black. I'm happy ... nice mistake.

Just trying to line up a paint shop near Lake Mary, FL to paint the hood.
