LewiSS or Denniss (i forgot which)

bought a carbon fiber fake hood scoop...placed it over his intake...cut out holes in his hood.


He made it look good, wasnt cheap at all...and he said it was better.

hmmm hopefully one of them will post, but im still wondering why no one has put out a functional aftermarket hood for this ya know, because cobalt-addicton.com has put out hoods that have openins but there just for looks.

look at the "related topics" at the bottom of the post here. "Makign the GMPP Intake Fucntional"

There are also hoods that have a center scoop and it is routed to the intake.

Yes a scoop right over the airbox + the GMPP intake actually shows worthwhile gains.

Heres LewiSS' dyno thread:

The RK hood should provide the same gains

I said it before and ill say it again... that thing is hideous... it looks like a big ******* nose on the side of the face.

it has to be functional cuz its hideous... the only nice thing about the car is the carbon fiber in the interior
