Fiberglass hood mods... crazy?

Alrighty then,glad theres no confusion lol.

And your right,the only way to know for sure will be to do it and learn from it....But I have thought about it and I think its doomed to fail for atleast one reason.

And that reason is...

At high speed when you want to evacuate this air pressure the most.

You will be moving so fast that the external air pressure will be more then that of the internal engine bay air pressure....meaning that the pressure from wind due to the increasing speed will be putting so much force on your "flaps" that the engine bay air pressure will have to be greater than...in order to open the flaps to release the pressure.

With that in mind,you would have to have some type of system to aloow them to open reguardless of exterior pressure.

Rather that system be,before you race...you manually open your flaps before a race and lock them into a stationary position.

Or you make a design where the "flaps" you cut in the hood are connected to lets say a choke cable inside the interior of the car under the dash or something.

That way when your at the line you can lean down,pull the cable and pop them open.

But I do not think that they will open on there own from engine bay pressures alone.

Just something to think about.
