vent the stock hood

Every morning I come into work and check yotatech waiting to see gadgets latest find that is going to give us all 20 more hp, 15lbs of torque and 5 more mpg. Unfortunetly until then we'll have to continue to throw out silly ideas and be our own guinea pigs. Here is my contribution for the day.

Wouldn't it be a cheap easy and effective mod to thow some 1 or 2 inch spacers on the rear hood hinges to help vent our cramped 3vze and lower intake temps?? Sure its may look a little weird but arent we all going for funtionality before looks? Silly as it may be, that my thought for the day?

Groom Killed By Stripper's Boobs
Wednesday January 16, 2002
GENEVA - A fun-filled bachelor party at a strip club turned deadly when a 32-year-old groom-to-be who was enjoying the attentions of a well-endowed stripper suffocated while his face was buried in her breasts.

The mind-boggling drama unfolded, say cops, while Daniel Greene was attending his bachelor party at the Pretty Kitty strip club.

The club had been rented out for the private affair.

According to investigators, Greene was enjoying a lap dance when disaster struck: One of the strippers, Kandy Kane, got too into her performance and suffocated the man between her 72-DD breasts.

Witnesses said that Greene had had his fair share of beer, but didn't seem out-of-control.

When the song "I'm Too Sexy" began to play, Greene became excited and began to dance on the tabletop, hooting and hollering, pals said, "like an idiot."

Miss Kane, apparently pleased to see someone enjoying her choice in music, moved in closer.

When Greene took his seat, she began giving him a lap dance, shaking her breasts in his face.

The more she shook, the deeper Greene got lost in her cleavage.

"Daniel was having so much fun," partygoer John Gillman said. "We all thought he loved being in that gal's chest.

"Who could have known that when he was waving his hands around, he was signaling for help?"

Cheering onlookers eventually realized that Greene was no longer moving, and pulled him from between Miss Kane's breasts.

Now Greene's family is suing Miss Kane and the Pretty Kitty for wrongful death.

Greene's father, George, won't specify the amount they are suing for, but claims that it isn't about the money.

"Those breasts were lethal weapons," he told reporters.

"The Pretty Kitty should not have allowed Miss Kane to have her bust enhanced to the size that she did.

"We hope that by filing this lawsuit, we can send a message to other strippers: keep your bra size within a reasonable range."

Kandy Kane made a statement through her attorneys: "I thought he liked it in there. "

The Pretty Kitty declined comment.

Too bad noone make s acowl induction hood for the 2nd gen runner. It already has the raised middle so it would only need a little modifying in the rear. That and it would make the 3.4 swap easier.

Back on subject.

I personally don't think its a good idea. It will look bad, some of your wiring and sensors will now be open to water, etc. It will rattle like a motha!

That is why I think a cowl induction hood would be good. Make it 1" higher than stock in the center raised area and the back doesn't have to be open to the elements although I don't hear of muscle car guys having problems with water. That would also increase air flow under the hood and probably keep things a little cooler.
