Should i get a BOSS 429 hood scoop or not?

i did think some about this almost 3 years back heres a few pictures tell me what you guys think? Saw one on a red lincoln mark 8 lsc ran low 12s on street tires and high 11s with slicks.

Thanks to 1 WLD BIRD for a nice picture for the vote say YES or NO or Maybe>?

EDIT.......sorry now i know its in no way a boss 429 scoop on the blue T-Bird

So you're gonna put a Boss scoop on and try to get in the 12's?

You're not gonna hack up a TC hood for this are ya? :flame:

IMO, leave the Boss scoops where they belong....on BellybuttonStangs...our cars are more....refined. ;)

Ok i agree for the most part with that just asking everyone here.

Next what does everyone think about the side scoop to get more air into the fliter?

Real goal is 11s but 12s would make me happy for a Daily Driver.

OK heres what i was thinking its just a brainstrom but its copyrighted.

Side scoop into the air fliter and then Buick GNX fender grills and some Supercharged badges under the it after i get the vortech put in. 

Has anyone used a extra TC hood scoop to mold into the fender to hook into their cold air kit?

thats what 1 wld bird did. He made a sheet metal t/c scoop, and molded it in. If you did it GN style farther back, with the fins thats different

Thats kind of evident by looking at your car. You have probably the most mix-matched assembly plans I have ever heard. Why are you so deteremined to supercharge it so quickly, when you could save money and have it all done right and at one time. You are taking small steps, and adding things as fast as you can buy used parts. Take time, save money, and buy it all at once and put it all together. Organize your plans.

And no the fender scoop would be dumb. 1WLD BRD did it right. If you want to be original, lets see a functional Ram Air on this Vortech.

Dude, your car is way too busy as it is.

Do what you want, but don't expect compliments.
