Got the TL1 Hood Kit And Cut my First hole in a Perfectly good Hood

That took Balls, or just being crazy
The big thing is I cannot believe the heat coming out from under the hood.
I'm not thru I ran out of cut off wheels and light
going to work on it the next couple of days

PS. New Engine

You're a brave man Spyder. Got pics?

Cut off wheels weren’t the problem for me. It was that damn single stage compressor that didn’t want to keep up.

Looks like your doing a great job

I had a Heat Extractor hood on my Procharged 2SS/RS and now have a ZL1.
The amount of heat that comes out of those openings truly is amazing, I'm glad to have a way to vent some of it out.

BLU DUCE · 08-09-2019, 06:54 AM

If you really want to feel the heat coming out & run with a lot cooler engine. Drive with the hood off. LOL

I took my hood off when I put the ACS ZL1 carbon fiber one in. And wrote across the tape you don't have the balls to cut me. It did take me a week to decide to do it.

You mean I didn’t have to spend 40 grand to get a hood vent?

You are indeed a brave man!

Greenhornet2 · 08-09-2019, 01:07 PM

looks like it will be really nice!

HDRDTD · 08-09-2019, 02:03 PM

Did it come in the carbon finish or did you do it?

BLU DUCE · 08-09-2019, 02:47 PM

Same as mine

Joecruiser · 08-09-2019, 03:00 PM

Wow, Spyder, you're doing a great job.
Blu, car looks great. Did you do it yourself too?
