Question about vented hoods
 

i wanna buy a carbon fiber vented hood for my z but question is, does it increase any hp? If so how much? And how much for it new and used?

Vents can't create more horsepower. They might prevent some of the existing horsepower to be lost by taking hot air our of the engine, but they need to be in the right places for that .

Trips doesn't like horse powers either :icon17:

You'll need a bunch of stickers to get that horsepower you're looking for.

Already got the370z sticker. Does pretty good with its brakes

Heat robs horsepower. That's why you put an intercooler on a turbo.

That's what he just said. Vents do not inherently create horsepower, they create cooler temperatures to allow the engine to perform without as much horsepower being compromised due to extra heat in the engine bay.

My mistake. I guess I read it kind of sideways.

This thread had potential :(

Maybe I wrote it sideways? ;)

+5hp stickers FTW!

Be sure to do lots of research before you pick one up. I have a seibon hood and I would give it a 7/10. If I had to do it again I would pick up a better brand, but that usually entails a higher $. Do lots of homework before buying.
Mine ran about $600 shipped.

That's around my price range but can spend more. How much would a good brand cost with carbon fiber used and are they often sold used?

You're better off putting that money toward something else that yields better gainz. What mods do you currently have?
