LOL

First I read...

No way... I could do better than that.

But I think cooltoy meant it as he wrote it...

(there's) No way I could do better than that.

You are both right.

I'd love to modify my VIS hood with this supercharger.

What are people's thoughts on a ZL1 style hood?

bcfromfl · 02-23-2017, 01:12 AM

I think in order to visualize this correctly, you need to start with the OEM bumper/air dam.

Remember the heat Mazda took with their front-end that looked too much like a face? This mock-up strikes me as a bit...awkward. I could be wrong, but I don't think the bulge needs to be this big.

Also, while some guys like open vents, as a practical feature for all-weather conditions, it probably isn't a good idea. Covered vents is maybe better.

Just my two cents...

I like this a lot...I agree with the above statement about the bulge being so big and continuing to the front bumper. I think the bulge should be as small as what is necessary to cover the blower and of course in full carbon

To say they are Crap is saying that cars like the cts-v is Crap. Guys are pushing that setup to over 750whp, on water without issues. It was done right.

Daily driven Whipple vettes and stangs are making 800+ to the wheels on water all day.

Don't count it out, but the design needs to be legit.

That's good to know.

I'll be switching to your A2A once I get my tax return by the way.

The hood shouldn't be so over the top it sticks out like a sore thumb on a mostly stock-bodied car. It'd be like sticking a big wing on the back with no body kit. I'd think most guys would not want the additional cost of a body kit just to make the hood fit with the vehicle.

cooltoy · 02-23-2017, 03:46 PM

My Photoshop was done without any idea on what the dimensions of the SC are, so don't take it as a realistic design. Bullitt has a better understanding of what is needed, as he is working with the shop.

However I do agree, that the bulge has to be as small as possible, and if it has to be as big as bulitt's rendering, then it would be a turn off for me.

My 2 cents: I think something that looks as OEM and minimalist as possible would be ideal. A bulge along the lines of the FT-HS, for example.
