Need opinions on engine hood decal-power bulge

Hi, I'm u decided and looking for opinions on which decal to use on my power bulge hood. Car is a 1991 convertible trans am so the bulge isn't factory but it's the hood I'm using. Engine is stock 5.0L tpi. Below is a pic of the two decals I already have.

I'm leaning on the f.i. Since the car isn't an HO, or at least I don't think it is. It is a ws6 trans am though.

Let me know your thoughts!

Thanks, Gary

Well the 5.0 LITER HO is out because that refers to the carbed motor.

The 5.0 Liter FI is from the formula, and correct size for the bulge.

The TRANS AM looks like a bumper decal, which may be a bit big for the bulge.

Haha, yeah I should have clarified the trans am is already on the bumper.

Thanks and that's one vote for the FI!

Leave the bulge bald ! That's what I would do with that combo.

Here's a pic as it is now!

Btw I hope these pics are working out for everyone, on my phone hey look a little funny, kind of stretched out.

Ok that's one for no decal...

Re: Need opinions on engine hood decal-power bulge

ALL the engines then were fuel injected, so the FI was redundant. They should have put 'TPI' instead of 'FI'. To me it was like adding 'V8' to the scoop after "6.6 Liter".

Go minimalistic, and cut the FI off. Yeah, people will think you have a TBI, so let them be fooled. IMO

Re: Need opinions on engine hood decal-power bulge

Haha yeah I did think of cutting that off! Of course if I wanted to fool people I could always put a 5.7 sticker on there!

Anyone like the idea of the strobe decal for the bulge? I'm thinking it might be a bit much.
