Shouldn't those scoops be routed to an IC or air filter?  :slap:

Not when you have a V-8.There's no room.The scoops are VERY close to the distributor.

In that case, may I suggest EDIS and ram-air as your next two upgrades?

My next two upgrades are a/c,and my 5 speed.After that,replace the 1/4 windows,new paint,new tires,,then,after all that,no ram air.I have the MAC CAI,which is good enough for now.A 5.8 may be in the Bird's future.

oh man, if you don't have A/C....  It's a little cooler up there but not enough.  I'm guessing you have something else for a daily driver?

I drive the Bird everywhere.If my wife is going,we take her car.She drives an Accord with the 260hp V-6.Mine is a rolling work in progress.As far as weather,we probably both have it really bad in the summer.Over a hundred and 100% humidity.That's why the a/c stuff is goin in.

Speaking of the hood scoops.... does anybody think it would be cool to mount some LED lights in each opening with a switch inside to turn on or off?  Just a wierd mod I thought of while thinking of ways to block off my scoop openings.

LOL.  Maybe I was too much of a fan of Knight Rider or something.

So Vinnie...You're saying that if I use a billet distributor or a Jacobs unit with the HEI type coil on my V-8, I'm going to have clearance problems installing my turbo hood?
