Looks very good on the Z, not so good on the SVX.

Doesn't look good on the Z either.
Looks like an elongated version of an 87' Turbo Z scoop.
Hated it then, no change now.
It doesn't flow with the SVX's body lines.
Sharp angles do not look right to me on a rounded body.

Dayle - I'm talking about the squarish one... If the inside at the front isn't over 3 inches high, it's no good for my application.

Re: new Hoodscoop design

Kinda fun, in thier own way. In the end the motor is way too powerful and heavy for the chassis to make it a decent package. Course a safe 8K redline was just underdrive pullies and some tuning away.... Sadly for whatever reason the SHOSHOP cams were not well thought out and had too much overlap. Lets say that again in a clearer fashion. Removing overlap wouldn't have just fixed the complete and total lack of power below 2K... It would have made more power till... the rev limiter.
