MHKflyer52 Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 slngshy, Those cleclos will only hold that scoop on for a very short time when driving....or are they the Electrical connectors that you use to start Franklin 7’s pulse in that mad workshop you have…..just kidding. Looks good and even looks menacing in flat black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mondo Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 There's quite a few "flat" colors out there nowadays.... My 67 truck was flat blue during the time I learned that I can't do bodywork either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yellowss7 Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 Mazda, why are you bothering with a hood scoop? The Blower will NEVER fit under it. :willy_nilly: Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slngsht Posted April 14, 2010 Author Share Posted April 14, 2010 Cumberland wouldn't let me autox without a hood last year :crazy: blower would be nice, but FRANKN7 will stay normally aspirated. If money just starts pouring into my bank account, the next step up is a built LS2 or LS3. That'll get me another 80-100hp. but that's gonna be a while Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drew... Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 ANOTHER???? 80-100 horsepower? Some might say there is a point of diminishing returns but I don't think there will be many in this group:jester: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scannon Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 Some others might say too much horsepower is just about right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimrankin Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 I'm not sure that the phrase "too much horspower" is even a necessary part of the english language. Oh, it could always be used as, the other guy had "too much horsepower" so I still need more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwduncan Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 The hood looks great. Can't wait to see it in person. More power sounds good, then you'll want tires with more grip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheDingo8MyBaby Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 Have you considered modifying the chin spoiler with the same crease? Maybe give it a bit of a V shape to match the scooop... Just a thought. I must say I love the look of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
