I mainly went this route again because of this manifold design I could not fit my alternator and didnt have the stuff on hand to do a rear mount alt setup.

Ive got changes that will be made down the road.

As for the hood thing, I searched the nhra rule book and nothing comes up requiring a hood. The only things stated is that hoods are required in certain classes.

So unless you can find something on it, I dont see an issue. I might just end up cutting a hole since im going with a cf hood later anyways.


So is this strictly a track car? Wouldn't the 16V battery need the alternator to keep it charged so it won't die out?

Fully charged it has about 60 minutes of run time with my amp draw from my car. Its going to be strictly a track car for the time being. Ill still cruise it as well but it will have to be short. Once the custom manifold is made ill make sure it clears the alternator where its supposed to be then can drive it normally on the street.

Oh ok I see you're going to be like those dudes at my local track with their all out race cars charging it every couple of runs lol so intimidating all you need now is a huge enclosed trailer.

dude couldnt you just cut where the turbo was hitting and cut for the downpipe.... up-pipe... sewer pipe whatever you call it lol. Man 4" is massive cant wait to hear how much power this makes. Tires shredding on the dyno ='s win in my book.

^^ The hood was cut from before, so he just cut a few more sections away (aka, this was the simple way apart from getting a new hood and doing it the correct way. He is seemingly on a time crunch)
