Who knows maybe the gasket on there now may do the trick, one way to find out is once hood is mounted, use some masking or painters tape and lay it sticky side up around your box & close hood, then open and if tape is stuck to the underneath of hood your good. But I'd recommend getting the largest channel gasket you can to ensure as much of an air tight seal as possible. Then you're good to go reaping all the benefits of the hood. Regarding my Pfadt castor/camber plates that will also cure your alignment issue. You're having the issue because GM did not design it wiith camber/castor in mind, they drilled the holes needed where the stock shocks are but they left it as is...I know, I know, it sounds confusing, blame GM. The Pfadt plates will work with your stock suspension and also down the road when you make the switch to coilovers. This is what you have now, except the black cap is removed. Once you remove the stock plunger and replace with these plates, you'll be able to dial in the alignment. That's still the same nut used, so that's one of the benefits, they'll work with stock & coil overs. Let me know if you want to buy them & a plane ticket to Lebanon. |
