Here is a short clip of my car showing the hood as well as one pass at the drag strip where I get my *** handed to me by a Camaro with a 350.

I ran a low 16 that run and the Camaro ran a low 15 or high 14 I think.

It does fit pretty good, better than some that I've seen.Originally posted by nolanr0413

A low 16? What motor you have in that it should be turning low 15s on a stock 350 Formula.

OK just checked out your home page and I see its a 305. Why don't you put that ram Air hood on the TA with the LT1 and put the formula hood on the Formula? By the way the LT1 motor looks nice in there. How hard was the swap?
I've got the LB9, the Camaro I raced has a 350.
My Formula is in pretty much show room trim, full interior, spare tire, etc....

The RA Hood is for the Trans Am, I just have no place to store it si I stuck it on the Formula.Originally posted by omcrider

LT1 swap was easy. Wiring it up is the hard part.

How are you running 16's didn't you put a LT1 in your Formula? or is this the other Bird that you got?
I've got 2 third gens, my 86 Trans Am with the LT1 and my 88 Formula that is bone stock.
The 86 has the LT1,

So you OWN 2. But how many thirdgen's are in your driveway at any given time?

awsome video i like that formula. gotta get some mods done to that and break some 14's. that was a pretty slow run for a formy though... (still all stock though) as u said. it would actually be a close race between u and me right now until u get mods done. cool video though
My best time was a 15.75 @ 87mph with a 2.1 60' time.
If the tranny shifted right and I had some better tires, I probably could have done a mid to low 15.
I don't really plan on modding this one yet, since I am still working on the Trans Am. Need to finish one project first.

Thanks. I bet it would look sweet on your car too. Bring down your hood and we can swap.
