It is your car, do what you want. But, it's up to you, the owner, to do everything in good taste.Now, IMO, I'd find a stock 3.8 hood to try it out on, and not the TC hood. That's what I'm doing with my dented hood....making a 383 shaker hood out of it, then the other hood spare I have I'm goin to try making a Barracuda hood out of it, and if neither of them work out to my approval, then it's a TC hood. Now, IMO, if you want to copy someone that's one thing, but if you ask the originator on how to do it, that's respect and appropriate duplication...for a lack of a better word, lol. Good luck either way. Quote Selected

Dude, take a better look at 1 Wld Brd's car in the pic you posted. That scoop in the fender ain't stock :hick:I'm not gonna rip on your car like others have - it's your car and you're free to build it the way you want. In the same vein, though, if you want it to be unique don't try bouncing ideas off other people (especially other people's ideas). If you want to do something, do it. You don't need our approval.

Before i painted my car that way almost no one in my city knew what a 80s T-Bird was or even looked like and most of them think it came painted that way or that its a mustang or something. The car is busy but its better than just being unseen good or bad its on of a kind and the vortech was only $925 for the whole kit except the fuel lines to the FMU could i pass a deal like that up hell no.

Should i get a BOSS 429 hood scoop or not? Reply #23 – November 22, 2007, 05:46:23 PM The TC hood looks good enough as it is. The thing about any sort of pop-up hood scoop is that there are so many stick-on hood scoops out there now, even real ones look fake. The "flush" scoops of the TC hood look that much better because they look real. Quote Selected

Should i get a BOSS 429 hood scoop or not? Reply #25 – November 23, 2007, 01:48:47 AM before i put on the supercharger gonna order me a E-Fan to free up a little room and i am going to sell the flex fan for like $5 to someguy with a mustang and trash whats left of my fan shroud.AT this point nothing more will be added to the hood it allready is more customized than most hoods and will stay as is so relax.my stock fan broke and my car overheated and dieded 4-5 times before i got home and i had the grind a bracket down for the TC scoops to fit so it was throwing anti-freeze all over my front window the flex fan nots bad but a E-Fan would be a lot nicer. That was with less than 4,000 miles after rebuild so i had to get some kind of fan so i could drive it. Quote Selected

I don't think anyone really got worked up over this to be honest. One of the things that happens when you post in a forum is you may not get the response you want. Quote Selected
scoops should be determined by need Reply #27 – November 23, 2007, 04:52:50 PM I don't think it's that hard to reach your stated performance goals, esp with a V8. I'd think a couple of IHIs or T3s from ugraded TCs and tweaking the fuel delivery would solve the problem. Might not even need an I/C since you wouldn't need to run lots of boost to make the power needed.Figure out how you're going to achieve your performance goals and everything else falls into place ... sort of.
