I washed it. Just picked this up from estate sale for $6,000.00. 1994 6 speed t-tops 79,000 miles. Immaculate interior, engine bay and paint. Just front clip is faded somewhat and needs refinished. Got plans for the car, will post back this summer with one bada$$ FireChicken. Oh yeah, and Im a converted Camaro guy.

Installed the Volant twin filter today. Then covered her back up and left. Next month I hope to pull the wheels and re paint the inside barrels.

Mainly I wanted something different. I know a couple hawk owners that have it with no complaints.
Still have the air rammed thru the grills in the front into a somewhat sealed box. It's not something that I did for more horse power, everything I have searched says you get a sucking sound, and this may only be a seat of the pants feel,which it does and I like the apperance alot better than just the box.
What I might change to next year would be the twin polished T sitting on top of the BMR stainless radiator support with 2 twin filters, which I think looks the best, even tho it sucks hot air also from the engine dept. This is already on a WS6 car that I have seen (01badbird). But it's something that I like.

It's probably the angle. Although it's possible the MSD logo on the grey boot could have a little contact with the primary. I'll have to check it later.

Removed my SLP lid and box and put on the Volant kit (yesterday). I will be removing the AIR pump and all hoses today. Then I will sit and wait to install my superhawk. Oh and prep to install my trickflow 215's and 236/242 cam.
