This is just some pictures of my hood on my IROC...fully functional... I have pictures of it.. I'm postion this mainly for people who have PM me and I could send them pictures of it

 

and another

 

another

 

more pictures to come!! hold with me I will get pics of the toggle switch that triggers them and some under the hood and also some with the flaps open

comp stopped letting me post pic so I will wait till tomorrow

 

Wouldn't it be cool if the louvered hood was funtional or if you could make it that way.

 

in 83 they were functional....they would open up to suck in air...but when it was raining it would suck in water and totally screw up ur engine. at least to my knowledge that is how it was.

 

yea mine are functional it shuts in air when flaps are open....I have a switch that attivates the flaps very cool

 

how did you make it fully funtional? If its TPI, the air intake is about 100 miles away from the opening in the hood.

 

That's what I was wondering too. Did you modify the air filter/intake setup?

 

I think the funtionality is the look. The switch is cool.

 

Oh man It was late when I posted this.. I meant that the flaps themselves are operative...I didnt modify anything sorry guys, but it seems to cool the top of the plenum a bit.

Again I apologize for being dumb and unclear

here is under the hood itself--

 

Yeah, it should allow for a little extra cooling.

 

them open

 

the toggle switch which triggers the flaps

 

i have those axact same seats in my bird. got them out of a 85 maro sport coupe. thats the only other set ive ever seen of them.

 

Man that awesome...I got mine out of the very same car. 85 sc camaro. They have been in my bird, RS now my IROC I love these babies...10x better than my power IROC seats.

 

i have that hood on my 83 camaro, but, those flaps are stationary, that gives me an idea, im going to go hunt for one of those hoods and make it into a ram air kind of setup with an open element air filter.

 

squeeks do you have a picture of your hood??? I havent seen a CFI hood that doesnt have stationary flaps

 

That's a pretty neat setup, and a good idea. It would be REALLY beneficial for a car like mine! My '83 T/A came with the functional power-bulge hood scoop, but unfortunately when I bought it, it was no longer functioning. Solution: I ripped out the mechanism so that the scoop opens right up into the engine bay & I switched to an open element air filter.

 

Can anyone post a picture of their power buldge hood and under hood pictures?? I havent heard of a functional T/A hood before please post

 

I had one of those hoods. Then I crashed it

Anyways, the guy who put the hood on with my TPI attached a cable from the flap to the throttle cable. That way the flaps would open mechanically and depended on the throttle position for the flap position. It was pretty slick too. I think he used a bicycle brake cable, it's been a couple years.

I've got some pics of the car with the hood in the links in my sig.
