GTO1 Posted May 17, 2007 Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 ...and never introed myself. plus I have to do something to get some more post and get rid of that rice boy thing. So lets see...some of you guys saw my car and met me last week at Norwalk. No doubt I'll be at the fall rental. My car is the only new naturally asperated GTO that I know of that has run an 11 sec time in the state. That includes LS1 and LS2s. Only two other have broken into the 11s in the state one on a shot and the other has a SC. ...many more will follow. So how do I know this? I'm a moderator and one of the founders of http://www.BuckeyeGoats.com where I record the GTO ETs inthe state. I also record them on the national GTO site http://www.LS1GTO.com. So if you want to know anything GTO related fact or fiction I'll point you in the right direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Steve Posted May 17, 2007 Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 Man I cannot get enough of looking at your hood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTO1 Posted May 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 The story behind that hood is this http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y26/GTO1/IMG_6438.jpg ...GMs Woodward prototype A bunch of us wanted this hood and so about 50 of us put down deposits on a pre-order with GravanaTuning to make the molds to make the hood. They make it now both in fiberglass and carbon fiber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpaceGhost Posted May 17, 2007 Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 Is the hood functional? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTO1 Posted May 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 Definitely not ram air but functional to a point. Air from the scoops is routed by ducts that dump over the front of the engine compartment. The driver side one dumps just over the K&N intake so technically its a path for cooler air. The hood also has a heat extractor in the back so functionally the hood is designed to allow cooler air in an give hotter air a way out. You can see the heat exchanger in the pic below. Also if you notice Lingenfelter designed my CAI with a barrier to separate the air going into the filter from the air in the engine compartment to try to keep it cooler. The air being dumped from the hood duct above helps this. http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y26/GTO1/IMG_0115.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTO1 Posted May 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 Hmmm... I take that as a challenge. ...now I just need to rob a bank, or something.... Roger over in zanesville ran an 11.7 in his LS2 with a shot. Best he did NA last year was 12.13...but he's twin turbo now so won't be doing anything NA. So that honor is still up for the first LS2.
