Good Lightweight LT1 Camaro Hood? Who makes a good lightweight hood for LT1 bodied Camaros? I saw something about a "Texas Performance" hood, but forgot to bookmark the post and now I can't find it.
Would like to know if you weighed it, where you got it, and how expensive it was.
I would prefer to keep my stock hinges/springs, not move to a pin-on/lift off hood, so it will have to be strong enough to open and close normally. That requirement may mean this "lightweight" hood needs to be nearly as heavy as stock, but I want to see what's out there... see if I can shave a few pounds.
TIA

Thanks. I've seen VFN's but am looking for people that actually have a lightweight hood to tell me about theirs. Testimonial of sorts.

Thanks Brook. I bought a CF driveshaft from you a couple years ago. We met in Giddings to make the transaction.
What is the actual weight? Can stock hinges be used?
