Cervini 4 inch cowel. Not much clearance under the hood for newly rebuilt motor. Talked about putting hood pins, but decided no need yet.

I can't comment on the power gain - I decided not to plumb mine into my CAI. From what others had seen, the minimal increase in power was not worth the work to plumb it in (or hide my driver side valve cover!).

Reason I am asking, I have a friend with a super shaker that is not getting great results with it...it's a 281 Mustang GT stock injectors and fuel pump.
I can't help but think it's starving for fuel, and I think you have confirmed my suspicion.....

I've had my Shaker Hood for more thna 2 years and I think it weas a good choice. I can't say the there is any real hP gain, but cooler air into the intake is always a good thing so I am sure it helps performance somewhat.

Fabman- What do you have in the opening between the edge of your bumper and the cdc classic chin spoiler? Just curious more than anything and if its a rock deflector/protector of some kind Id like to know how you did it as I need one for my car.

I just wanted something that looks different and for better or worse, I think I got what I asked for.
What you may be seeing in there is the heat exchanger for my intercooler.
) Engine bay temps have been about 10-15* less.

B9 hood and scoop with functional hood pins. May switch from "ram air" intake thru the grill to shaker intake and leave the B9 scoop on so I get the looks and functionality from it.
Adding a chin spoiler soon. Been busy so haven't had time to install it this summer.
