Are you talking about mine? Kenne Bell includes one with their kit. I'll get more pictures and a video up when it gets running. Oh my car is far from a racecar, just thought I'd share. That last photo is nice.

I believe they stopped making them due to them running extremely hot with anything above 650 to the wheel. Luckily for me I am shooting for 625_650 so hopefully I will be safe. I got the VIS CF cowl hood. Pretty limited on hood choices and even that one I had to modify to get it to fit.

Thanks! The air filter is from Holley. You wouldn't be able to see it at all if it weren't for the clear FTP 105mm lid!
