Hi All,
I'm looking for some ideas for a hood for my 86 T-Bird drag car. I am not crazy about the current setup that was on the car when I got it. Currently has a 5" cowl hood with a scoop on top of that. A 5" cowl alone is not enough. The top of the throttle body comes within 1.5" of the cowl, so the scoop is added. My injected 598 BBF is pretty tall. A 5" cowl is as tall as I have found from any company.
I could always do a flat hood with a Pro-Stock style scoop, but I was hoping to find some other ideas. I saw an 88 T-bird at the track over the weekend that had a great looking setup, but it won't fit mine. It was 3" rounded cowl (sort of Cobra-R mustang style) The cowl extended all the way back to the windshield. Looked good.
Looking for ideas. Post up pics if you have them.
My current setup:

Best so far of 5.24 @ 133 1/8 mile all motor

I don't have near what you got,to say what would work. but I think your going to have to make something unique.
Sir, in your position I would have gone no hood, thats alot of motor lol.
