Hood Scoop install to fix clearance issues! v8s10 "Nitrous Express" ( Part 2 )

This is part two of my Nitrous upgrade series. If you watched my last video, I had some serious hood clearance issues. In this video I’m installing a Jegs Hilborn-Style Scoop for Single 4 Barrel Carburetor. I did do a good bit of modification to get the setup how I wanted but all in all I’m happy with the result.

I like that scoop, Plus I would leave that chrome inside of it makes it stand out more

[@HeadFlowInc]

I vote leave the metal unpainted, it’s just another place for paint to chip off from. It looks mean & clean as is! JD

[@murphy3999]

Scoop turn out good. I really like the way the hood slopes up on back of scoop. Leave the chrome insert

Wow that truck is figured out ..

I'm sure you have already made up your mind, however I would leave the trim piece alone. It accents the work that has been done. Ok, I have a 2002 S10 V8 that just got done about 3 weeks ago. This is my big debate as well. I wanted to go with the sleeper look. The sound gives it away with the cam lopping, not to mention the tach and shift light on the dash. Im looking at a shotgun air scoop for mine. I'm thinking it will have better appeal, as well as serving some purpose to also let some heat out. I do have a new double row radiator, dual electric fans set up. But there is still a good amount of heat up under the hood. I was going to put smaller vents on both sides of the hood, then I thought about a low profile hood scoop. Since I watched your video which is well done if I might say. It's helped me make up my mind as to go ahead and cut the hood for a shotgun air scoop. I've always wanted one. I like the look of the operating butterfly shutters opening and closing. Your video gave me alot of oversight on what to do. Thank you.

Good Work So You Got Ram Air and Heat Extraction & should be good for some performance improvements & Should Sound Good Too & Good Video. Hope Your All Well Looks Nice Too

Must have a weiand under there. 😂😂

[@TPVPRO]

Love it man 💯 is your cowl a 2inch or 4 inch?

[@brentonk461]

Use stainless steel 3/16" rivets, too hold the mesh, throw the bolts in the bin

[@TPVPRO]

I tapped the scoop for 1/4 20 bolts so the filter can be replaced when dirty.

[@vans1107]

not bad, much better than leaving it chrome, but if I were you I'd make a square scoop out of black plastic or plexi glass maybe a tad bit wider than that.

[@naaimhim7307]

i have the same scoop, it also comes with a metal screwdriver clamp, where does that go?

[@datraktorman69]

Them are called machine screws

[@TPVPRO]

Got it, I will probably forget when my some-timers kicks in.

[@datraktorman69]

@@TPVPRO always when the camera is on or it's important when them some-timers kicks in haha

[@tritonbradford1688]

Leave the chrome...👍

[@Threads1220]

That little bit of chrome would have looked good with grill and headlights besals chromed and the little trim around the windshield. But im with you really dont like the look of the hood scoop

[@shockhouser3171]

Can you install one on a fuel injector car

[@richardlewellen2641]

I say paint it black!

[@brentonk461]

Needs a much coarser mesh in front, behind the screen, filter

[@jquad1]

Call Jeff in Tallahassee What Scoop

[@TPVPRO]

[@vaughncowan4055]
