What ever happened to actually testing a product for fit and function before you put it on the market????? You see this "sell it first and see if there are returns" approach more and more these days.

Laaaaaaaaaaaame.

Can they vent hoods that don't leak water into the engine bay?

I've been thinking of doing 2 small flat backwards scoops on mine on the drivers and passengers sides near the rear of the hood. The backwards scoop, if properly designed should act like a vacuum to suck the hot air out of the engine bay and will make it difficult for water and debris to get in.

I looked at the topsecret hood but it is $1000 too much for not enough that is almost a new set of cams.....Hate to hijack but does anyone know of any dyno pulls with the stock bottom end and those zzr heads?? and if so what other mods had to go with the heads?

Thanks.
Scott

i dont know weather to put that on my car, or put it in a bucket and wash my clothes on it. all those ridges should help with grass stains.

dont like it.

i've seen Z hoods with a single vent. they look too much like the celica hoods for some reason.

jesseenglish, i'd like to c what you have in mind. sounds like a pretty good idea.
