    yes, a wider tire will improve traction thus improving your 60 foot time and that will make a good impact on your e/t.

            If you've already got a cold-air setup it's not worth it to make the hood "functional". It's not really ram-air, they're just hood-inducted cold-air boxes. ;)

                Not from a performance standpoint. [img]smile.gif[/img]

                Now the hood will save you a nice amount in weight, which is always good. But the "ram-air" is not going to make any more noticible power than a good CAI.

                But that huge filter does look impressive under the hood, LOL.
