I vote stock hood.

[dsmreck]

^ I'm not sure your getting it, we are saying the hood will not clear the manifold and also now the half radiator will also not clear the manifold

[97gsexx]

Ah I didn't see that my bad

[dsmreck]

Mucho parts delivery for my red rocket. Kiggly crank trigger, fluidampr harmonic poop slinger, gates rubber band, competition twin disk, and a bunch of bolts and gaskets u could forget about until you pay for them. So far I'm ready to prime the oil pump and then time the motor, than maybe fab up a timing cover and make sure I have a starter plate that will work. Who knows maybe the weather will cooperate and I'll get to drive it this year. Still undecided on what to do about the turbo. Keep the 3582 the way it is this year or upgrade to a 3586. Hmmmmmm does size matter this year???

Nice!

Keep the turbo, just be a waste of time and/or money at this point.
You might run the 3582 and want to go straight to a 3794 or something, size might matter if you feel insecure? lol

[dsmreck]

lol funny post man, but why would this be a waste as fp site says my turbo would go from 62.5 to 75 lb/min. thats 100hp difference.

[turbotalon1g]

Lol.

Because not everyone maxed turbos. Like I said you might want to go way bigger or something. Plus not like that option will go away so you don't need to do it now. But if you want to and it won't hold your progress up then go ffor it

hey guys I have not been paying attention to this build for the past couple days but the hood I have does clear a lot better than a stock hood I don't know if I would clear a stock hood even but I love the way my hood looks also it looks clean I think

[dsmreck]

i pretty much maxed it out last year so thats why I'm thinking about it. basically I can handle the power just need to make sure I get what is truly needed as in wheels and tires and whatever else.

dsmdolney thanks for the info, andre actually sent out his manifold back to force to have john try and fix it, so if the extra room is needed maybe that style hood is the answer.

When you repainted ur bay what did you all take off did you remove all the brake lines and stuff or just keep them on im repainting mine right now atleast working on it
