hey finally did an appearance mod on my 97 TA,got a VFN 4" ram air hood. front clip still needs paint,but it looks OK at a distance.

Let me know what ya think about it.

 

Looks very Pro-Street.
I assume that's the look you wanted - since you are apparently quite the drag racer.

 

wow, this thing is big
its got to bothr your vew but I guess for a QM it's not that important

Looks good - not my style though

 

wouldnt want to see that beast coming up from behind me on a highway

 

interesting. I think it would look pretty damn good if the the holes on the front were made diff. Maybe like a LS1 WS6 style "Nostrils" were molded in it. I don't like the LS1 WS6 hood on LT1's but i think that hood would be cool if the "Nostrils" were reshaped. On that hood they are too square for me. Diff though.

 

Looks a helluvalot meaner than a stock style raim air/firehawk hood. I like it!

 

So.... there goes the "stealth" look.....

Looks great Dirk!! Gotta get to see it in person one of these days.

 

Looks VERY MEAN ! !

not my style though.

 

I LOVE IT!!! Mine should be here next week sometime. How was the install did you have a hard time getting it to fit right??

 

Lookin' good!!!

Car looks mean as hell
I like it

 

Thanks guys. It actually isnt bad for driving as this car does see a LOT of street time. just some minor getting used too.

It is definately the look im going for,car just never looked right with the stock hood,was always lacking "something"

i kinda figure it was a lil extreme for a lot of folks,but i definately like the car a whole lot more.


Fred,we will have to meet up sometime,although my track days are running out. 2-3 more races untill first weekend of november then it goes under the knife.

 

not bad, not bad at all

 

What are the plans for the winter?

 

the definate plans are afr 220 heads,solid roller,th400,accel 4 bbl style intake setup for injection. Bottom end will be either a 355 or 383,depending on how broke i wanna be.

also 2 stages of spray.
