Get the hood if you absolutely need to (as in for more space under it) otherwise screw it. Let me explain.
I get so many dirty looks from the cops with my Z28. Definitely a good car to impress other dudes (girls prefer it over a normal car, but it's not exactly a "magnet") but to be honest the way cops look at me is really annoying. In my area people go around in AMG and M5 and M3 and STI and RX8....I mean, seriously? It's a 15 year old car...
I'm taking that damn badge off. Screw this. Screw V8 too, next time it breaks down I'm exchanging for V6. Can't get 11mpg for god's sake.

It's that hood or an SS one (and I'm not fond of making a six look like an ss). the lt1 ss hoods look pretty damned good. This is a far-away project though.
For gas mileage, I think mine went up, haven't run a full tank through yet, so we'll see. It definitely is reasonable to daily drive, that's for sure.

what exactly is reasonable to drive? lol we talkin better than 20?
#154
Yup, better than 20, street/highway mix (50/50). This tank won't be a good example due to the racing this weekend, but the next tank should. It's all in the tune, if you get your afr right, and make the engine run efficient, it'll do great on mileage.

nice 20+ and a kick ace ride is always nice. and i would stay with ur hood now. it really keeps your stock look but like u said the exhaust scares away any potential punks anyway so a hood would only help that prolly but i love how stock you have kept this thing the whole time imo...

I'm just going to have to make my own, I'm dead broke. I did make a basic one today though. I put the stock air box back in, modified it a bit, and ran a 3" flexible aluminum hose up to the 90* elbow on the TB. It's still really restrictive, the elbow is the problem (very thick material, small on the inside). I'll post a pic tomorrow. It is less restrictive than the ebay one though, so it'll do for now. It's still rich at WOT, but 11.0, not pegged.
