Basically it came down to getting 1000Hp worth of heat out of the engine bay and this hood had the best venting by far. I agree the stock smoth hood looks better but for track, and street simply traps far to much heat.

Well Jim at JM Fabrication is up to his old tricks and working on a new tubular Top Mount Manifold for my car. If it is anywhere near the quality of his Drag Intake Manifold it should be killer. Patiently waiting.

Have some new pics up this week!

The car is really coming along! Do you plan on bringing the car down to The Showdown @ E Town this year?

I would love to, I well have to see how things are going closer to the event. I don't want to drive that far unless I have the car sorted out atleast. Hoping to get some help with my engine program and switch to a 2.0 and aluminum rod motor for better reliability.

Looks like JM Fab managed to meet form with function, well done to them.

Can't wait for a video of this thing

Well I pride myself on fabricating my own parts but the fit and finish of the Drag intake JM Fabrication did up for me I don't think I could improve upon it. Which is saying a lot.
