I cut a hole in my friends Mustang hood a few years back. We installed a shaker hood scoop. Measure twice, cut once. LOL

He was much more nervous than I was...

Carrol Shelby did back in the 60's and he never looked back

Based on my experience working on my car with someone else, the someone else is always less nervous.

Eagle will be the first and I maybe the second. Both of us have oem hoods we don't use so we have no worries!

My thoughts exactly!

I was just researching this idea, then found this thread. What are the opinions on the 'vette-style hood vent at this link: https://www.carid.com/apr-performanc...ood-vents.html Anyone good with Photoshop to see what it would look like on a Z?

Would require some creative fabrication, and maybe trimming on the under-hood frame.

Another idea that could work in concert with such a hood vent is a shroud that fits around the radiator/intercooler and snugs tight against the vent when the hood is closed.

This project is well under way and we are eagerly awaiting the first pictures of the design. Stay tuned.

John just got back to me, fabrication is done...he expects to pick the vents up this week which he means he'll be making a trip to my house to pick up my hood soon. Expect more details in the coming week or two.
