[QUOTE="Willie, post: 16507934, member: 14133"] I have the TruFiber A53KR ram air hood. To it, I added hood pins and made the ram air completely functional. Hood Pins: You are probably familiar with the ones I have. They are the twist-lock 1970 Mach I hood pins, lol.. [ATTACH=full]1667789[/ATTACH] I fabbed a pair of receivers, using the KR receiver design, but with a "D" shaped hole for these pins: [ATTACH=full]1667790[/ATTACH] As for the functional ram air, the hood comes with a rectangular opening but it is not placed in a position that does much good, so I had the underside reworked so that it matches the shape of my one-off air filter housing, making it a true ram air system. + [ATTACH=full]1667791[/ATTACH] The trim "ring" is aluminum with threaded holes. The pic shows the hood just after it was painted and the "ring" still has masking tape on it. Because of the issues Shelby had with the MAF sensor signal being erratic with a ram air system which caused surging at normal cruising conditions (as best I recall), I decided to install this aluminum trim ring so that I can experiment with plexiglass block-off plates with varying hole sizes, shapes and hole locations to minimize the surging experienced by Shelby. I have come up with a final design which includes two triangular shaped holes. [/QUOTE]
