Default The Hood?

Does the hood make a difference in performance? Being a scoop or a cowl?

Considering where the intake is, no.


You *might* see a drop of 0.04sec off your 0-60 from a lighter CF hood.

But no; hoods are cosmetic mods.

If you don't have anything productive to say keep your thoughts to yourself.

OP no a scoop isn't going to help you. As for weight reduction and track times. Every 100 pounds you loose, you gain 1/10th of a second. Loose 500lbs gain half a second.

pretty much all there is to it. the only performance gain is the weight reduction and it may lower the under the hood temp a little
