Acceptable substitutes for popcorn are:
Chips - regular or corn/tortilla
Pretzels
Pork Rinds

On a side note I think I realized what was meant by the statement in post #29.  I'll refer you to post #27.

what about a 68 cougar scoop? kinda homeplate shaped, and has a little piece coming down in the center so it has 2 slots instead of the one big hole. i'm thinkin of puttin one on my 95.

If it fits under the hood what the point of the scoop. I have a 1" spacer on my intake and see the hood move when I stomp on it. I need a scoop or bump of some kind on the hood.

But if you don't have a clearance problem just stick with the TC hood.

Absolutely nothing wrong with trying something new.  Many of us just put our opinion out there like you asked us to do.  Ultimately it is your car to do with as you wish.  Do I think your like FILA?  No, you haven't had unresolved "customer service" issues like he did.  You don't seem to be an uber-post-w either.  Ah yes, you actually have the title to your car as well.

Fila didn't have his title, yet he was doing all his mods to it anyway?

The filter is already in the passenger fender...as is the scoop.
It's Gumby's fault.
