just throw a crome auto zone fake hood scoop on there that adds 20 hp to a ricer. it would be interesting to see how much hp it gives a diesel. and if that works might as well add side scoops a spoiler and hood scoop. all add 20 hp each oh and put a coffe can in the windshield thats like 50. all joking aside i saw one time on a web site hoods with cut outs idk remember where ill try to find it again and post a link if i can and i have never seen a hood mount tach that would be pretty sick though

the challenger style hood and some cowl hoods are all that you can get premade. Unfortunately the challenger hoods only come in fiberglass.

I won't run a fiberglass hood on a street vehicle as hood pins are hideous to look at. So I'm building my own hood using barracuda scoops. Its going to be a crap ton of work since the scoops need to be shortened about 2" to match up with the dodge hood.

(my truck)


Somebody else has done it before. It looks like they shortened the bit in front of the scoops which doesn't look as good. I plan take out the 2" behind the scoops (which makes more work, yay.)
