yep, i thought i may be in need of a taller hood. do the 03-04 cobra hoods have good clearance in that area, that is my favorite hood and i really want one on my car. and i figured it may help keep the blower alittle cooler since its got the duct right in the general area of the blower. i see alot more in the future for this car than just a forged bottom end.. haha. next thing im looking into is 31spline hardened axles and a new posi unit like an eaton. then after that i will start shopping for a t-56 to put in the car so the drivetrain will then be able to take the new power levels. then im getting a forged short block from VT most likely (maybe bored or stock bore, not sure yet) around 8.5-8.6 compression. i will have stage 2 blower cams and stage 2 ported heads also. once i am done with my car (and no one is ever done with their car), it will be pretty impressive. i just am looking for a way to get traction on the street and im waiting for it to warm up to see if this will help any.

I think alot of people get too excited about water toching their engine. There not made to go swimming, but some rain won't rust out the engine.
