My hood scoop baffles....

I don't think a TC hood would be too great for ram air anyway...scoops don't stick up far enough and they are far from airtight (I suppose some silicone could take care of that). Hooking up the ducting to those small openings would be a pain though.

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?

No,I'm saying,that with a V-8,these scoops are not worth trying to make a ram air out of them.There's just no room.Get a March ram air kit that goes under the front bumper and into the fender if you want ram air.The V-8 sits to close to the hood scoops.If you have these scoops,put the distributor boot on the distributor,or,like I found out a long time ago,water WILL get into the distributor (unless you block the scoops,which I fixed with my baffles).

I'm not a fan of lights in the scoops,it really does look like the tuner wanna-be's.My son wants lights,but he's only twelve,and it's my Sport,so it really doesn't matter what he wants.LOL.
