I have fiberglass hood w/o hood pins with no problems so far, but I have only been up to 110mph so far.

I know many people with trucarbon hoods, Drock above being one of them. And they have no problem with hood flutter. You should be ok.

Just saw this thread. I have a TruFiber hood and it flutters like crazy at highway speeds sometimes, depending on the wind. I tried making adjustment to the stops, but it didn't do any good.

I have a Cervini ram air and have never had a problem. It's a pretty tight fit. I was going to say I would think it would be in the adjustments as to how well the hood was secured to the body but maybe that depends on the hood manufacturer. So, all I can add is that no problems with Cervinis.
