Power assist, go with a 1.5" bore x 8" stroke ram. For full hydro, step that up to a 2" bore. The smaller bore will help out with the needed power and keep the turning speed up for road use.

So while i wait to get the plasma again to do the next crossmember and the front bumper pieces i decided to do something else ive wanted to for awhile. I give you the homebrew cowl induction hood.
So what i did was cut a 24" section out of a factory hood. Now there is a brace at the back that would hinder air flow. So i cut a notch in it and capped it.
Next was to fit it and get the rear height where i wanted it. I decided 4" would work.
Then i started to cap the sides with 18ga.
Even put it on a little bit of an angle.
