I'll bite.

 

I know you've been receiving allot of flak on the board lately.

 

I would love to see a fiberglass hood or CF layer hood cause every one is all talk and no action when it comes to our cars. Even the well known companies.

So I would say something with vents or and  induction cowl or stock.

The front fenders would be great addition too with side openings to allow the engine compartment to cool more efficiently.

 

Good luck, post your results, and ignore the nay Sayers.

 

If they turn out you'll defiantly sell them

Hello CHC

Oscar <<<< Terminology Illeterate HERE.

Can you tell me what is "Dragon Style" ?:-/

 

I will tell you what I think it is BUT ... Alright I'll tell ya...

 

The "picture" I am getting is "Doggy-Style" Next to a Fireplace. ;D ;)

Am I close Huh, Huh ?

 

Hey no seriously though I have NO IDEA what a DRAGON STYLE HOOD looks like, can you post a link to ANY hood with this design?

Thanks.

 

I may just try that again... Its KINDA COOL tonight !

I'd probably be interested in the "single" hump design. I wanted to make my own vented hood from the stocker but if yours looks tempting enough i'd be interested. a 2.5" rise seems kinda high to me though, i'd definitely need to see a pic of it.

 

also, will they be able to clear OVCP and as far as issues with when it rains will it drain onto parts that won't be affected by moisture? (sorry for all the questions, just needed to get them all out and maybe even stuff you should/could consider).

Stock hood with slight cowl  - the cowl hood would get heat out and might have enough room for some hidden hood gauges.

 

I gave CHC som sh!t but if he makes any hood - Hat is off to him.

This is my favorite scoop on a SQ, second would be a nice MILD cowl, not some huge thing.

I talked to the owner of this car, and this is what he told me....

The scoop is from a 96 Camaro SS.  we basically just but the stock hood, screwed the scoop in place, then mar glassed, and fiber glassed it over smooth.

I really want something behind the radiator and a inlet for the air filter area. Not nesessarly like the above photos. I personally didnt like the dragon hood.

I don't know, if you can pull of the Dragon style, and it won't look out of place, it could be cool, especially if the vents will suck out the heat(once modified to be functional).

 

I'd personally like to see a slightly more aggresive looking '83 style. Maybe a slightly larger intake scoop, and more pronounced hood bulge. Almost like a Cowl induction hood, with an inlet, and some exhaust vents.

I'd bite if I could get one with cowl induction.  Similar but not exactly one of these two.
