the hood itself is actually falling apart on itself. who ever put the hood scoop on cut a hole to flow air into the engine and cut right through the hood supports and didnt try to reinforce it in anyway so the hood sits like half an inch lower than my fenders twards the middle. i think im gunna get a 3 inch cowl hood. that and withe the new engine ill have the edlebrock air gap intake and a nitrous plate under that i dont think it will fit under the stock hood

Hoods fly up on SN95s also, it depends on the quality of the hood and maybe install also. Adder you told me 100x to put pins on my hood or it would fly up, and you also said your hood looks loose when you're driving and that you were putting pins on it, what happened?

Bernie does your hood have a steel latch? I guess what happens is the hoods that have fiberglass latches rip through and the hood comes up at high speeds.
