LS1 Intake Coversion
Hey, if you try out the sunoco hood and it works, I think I will do this setup then, I want a sunoco hood.
Let us know your dyno results also.
I think its kinda neat the way it looks now, probably raises a few eyebrows.

I think I know what you mean..kinda like the old IROC's.
It raises a few eyebrows..look what it did on here, got lots of comments. Most were good, and then you have the occassional negativity..
The next thing I think I am goin to do is get some of my extra Aluminum Flashing, and cover up the back of the Lid, so no one messes with any of the connections, and it's closed up a little more.

I had a small fiberglass cowl on my LT1 with black outs in the front, and it looked bad ***.
Get a hood, and it will look bad ***!
Congrats on your success on the project.

I know a guy in an Eclipse, he made a whole Front Bumper Cover out of it so he could get better air flow and still look decent. He looked like ***..

Im referring to people who are more concerned with looks rather than performance. I think if the modification (yours inparticular) will make the car perform better than who cares what it looks like.

Around here, they want an insane amount to do something like that. I already looked..
What I need to to is get a Cowl that will fit from the back of it up to the back of the Hood. That will look better, blending it kinda..

Congrats on the conversion, and I think the LS1 intake is a much better setup then the CAI for the LT1...However i think the lid hanging out the hood looks bad. But if you like it, then more power to ya..its your car not mine. Since i am expessing my opinions i think the Sunoco hood looks fantastic on LS1 cars, but i honestly don't think it looks good on the LT1 nose.
