Just thought i would let you know of my happy hood setup

Okay i started out looking for a ss hood that was for a 1989 Firebird formula.But then found out that they dont make one so i went and bought a ss hood scoop from ebay.And then bought a fiberglass stock looking hood and put the ss hood scoop on and had my local body shop do it for free (its good to know somebody that's working in the body bussiness)it turned out so good and then i went and bought a 14'' K&N X-stream lid and man i felt a difference so sweet looking to with the ss scoop sitting on the hood all paint black.Man i can feel a difference at 20mph and up espically at 90mph when i cruise.Sooooooooooooo :hail: :hail:

Now you've got my curiosity going...

3,208 dollars to spend on my 1989 Firebird formula with the 305 tbi with 116,000 miles
from: https://www.thirdgen.org/techbb2/sho...hreadid=187854

I hate to bring that up, but I would love to see what that hood looks like, and so would all the others here. Don't get us excited and then leave us hanging. Sort of like that one guy that had a turbo charged v8 in his bird, but could never find his camera. I'd hate to see the same thing happen to you.

Must have pics....

you can either buy a $5 disposable camera, snap the pics, and have the photo place put them on cd, or i'm sure there has to be a tgo member in your area that would be willing to snap pics for you.
