Here's my thoughts for the hood...

Haven't found any hoods I like for my truck so thinking about making a ZL1 style hood for it. Here's a CRAPPY quick photoshop...

Thoughts? I was just going to make a one off out of my hood but if there's interest in other people wanting it I'll have RK Sport do it then we could sell it in either fiberglass or carbon fiber. Thoughts?

AND OF COURSE it needed new rims, tires, leveling kit, fender flares and hood (this one is a loaner from RK Sport while they make the one we designed) while it was down lol...

Looks much better than stock. I bet it runs good with that cam too.

Gil and I did all the engine work and Ryne (CMS) loaded the base tune. Need to get the new 4x4 module installed then I can drive it down for Ryne to finish the tune.

Good lookin progress. I have those falken wild peaks in 285's. Great tire while they last but once they start wearing down they look like glorified highway tires. I think I'm getting close to 35k miles on mine now... I can't remember.
