I have done this before on my previous hood....has it worked? I dono...I noticed no drop in tempeture and no performance gains. Also water gets into your motor compartment. I consider it useless...

You can also get fuel smell inside your car if you remove that strip and have a carb or throttle body. NOT popular with the women, I promise. My IROC was missing the strip and my gf was really complaining about the smell. I bought and installed the strip, and voila... problem solved.

I've taken that rubber strip off with no problems. water doesn't get in the engine compartment unless you get a hose and point it directly in there. The firewall is too far forward from the rear edge of the hood. Also, I don't get any fuel smell in my interior from my TBI engine maybe your car is running a little rich. I've noticed my car runs a little stronger without that strip.

want to know the real way to do it to give you hp and what not. But still look stock? Cut the back bracing part out of the hood in the center location. Making it a cowl hood with about a 2" gap. That'll give you some hp. Yet it will be cutting the under part. If your willing. Do it...if your not? dont O_o

GKK, you were right. My computer just died yesterday. Code 54 - low voltage fuel pump. Would have thought that would have made it run lean, but it suddenly started pumping it out in droves.
