Firebird Formula hoods
Is there anyway that the scoop for the air inlet on the turbo hood can be opened. What is the real name for the formula offset cowl style hood because I was looking for new one not that I need a new hood I just wanted one for a V6 bird or base 305 bird because I don't like the Camaro and Firebird hoods with no form of hood scoop because they look to wide and flat like a taco without some form of hood scoop. but all I can find is ram air hoods which I will get for my Formula or ZL1 or cowl induction hoods but no turbo style hoods.
Thanks

Hi, the plate can be removed. 4 screws and you can remove it. There are perforated plates that you can place in place of the solid ones.

Re: Firebird Formula hoods
Has the price went up that much for the formula hood or are they just very proud of it?

Re: Firebird Formula hoods
Hawks is just a monumental rip-off. Paid $75 for the last Formula hood I bought (a year ago). Last one I sold before that went for $150, and it took a few years listing it on Craigslist before it found a new home. $500+ is highway robbery. Not sure how they can sleep at night taking advantage of people like that.

I got the screen from some scraps laying around work; you could probably find some at a metal shop, or maybe Home Depot possibly.
