Cutting hole in the hood question...

Are you planning to run a scoop?

If not, take it from someone who has ran a tunnel ram and a blower, DON'T cut the hood, you will regret it later. It limits how much and when you can drive the car and if you get stuck in the rain, it shorts out the dist.
x2....i run a tunnel ram.when i first set it up i drove it without a hood ,i wanted to know if streetabilty would suffer too much before i cut mine up.i ended up getting a second hood out of the junkyard so if i want to put it back the way it was i can. i used a cut off wheel to do mine.
