I was planning on cutting up one of my old NA hoods (Border style) and see how it comes out.

Of course that is after an EMS, turbo upgrade, finish the TII driveline, ahhhhh nevermind.

i often wonder what a modular system would look like. Have an aluminum skeleton and then have different pieces that can be pushed in to have the desired affect. Flat pieces, scoops, vents, cowls, etc. All changed and swapped in at will of the owner.

That would be cool but once you find the most efficient piece you wouldn't swap it anymore, right?

Which makes perfect sense. They are sacrificing safety either way. lol

That would be completely up to the user. For me personally, no I probably wouldn't swap it anymore. But I would be developing more effecient units to be installed in the most idle locations.

Just for instance or an example: Just because you vent heat from one area does not mean that you can not further increase the venting ability of another area by adjusting one part of the hood to a different unit. IE: Venting over the turbo is increased when venting over the radiator is negated.
