i think ive decided that im gonna drill thru the holes on the stock hood inserts. I think itll give the engine a much cooler environment plus so what if rain gets in? itas not gonna hurt the block and even if it did it would evaporate before it hit it.

decided im probably not going to do it. My friend told me that since our cars have air cooling coming from underneather the bumper, that the air being let thru the hood vents would not compliment the original intended design, possibly hurt the engine.SLP CAI, RK Sport headers, P&Ped heads and intake, GT2 cam, Upgraded valvetrain, Z28 rear axle with 4.10s Tx Spd tune, Z06 rims, 2.5\" exhaust to flowmaster, 160* thermo, B&M ripper, upgraded ignition, rockford fosgate 12\" with sony xplode amp and HU.

The air coming from the front of the car is directed at the AC Condensor and the radiator only. Opening those vents though will allow all kinds of road grime to get into your engine bay.- Josh<br />If you have any questions or need installation pics/help, e-mail me: Viper98885@aol.com<br /><a href=\"http://Camaroz28.cardomain.com/id/viper98885\" target=\"_blank\">\'93 Camaro Hardtop</a><br /><a href=\"http://Camaroz28.cardomain.com/id/01lincolnls8\" target=\"_blank\">\'01 Lincoln LS8 Sport</a><br />\'00 Yamaha YZF-R6<br /><a href=\"http://www.ftpp.net\" target=\"_blank\">Full Throttle Performance</a>
