what up peoplez!! i recently tore my hood up and need a new one. i was looking around for a carbonfiber one but the prices were like $500+ with shipping. should i kill the $600 that i have for a carbonfiber hood or should i pay the $250 for a regular hood and save the rest and save up for the jwt ecu? or is the carbonfiber hood the way too go?

im more of a performance guy so if looks are what you base your decision on then id rather not get the cf hood, but if it helps horsepower wise then i would have to consider. thanks to all

 

ecu > cf hood

 

stock hoods weigh like 49lbs verses the 15-20 lbs from cf hoods depending on manufacturer. so dropping the weight down about 20-30lbs will not give you that much of a difference in time, but chewing the fat helps. i would go with reg hood and ecu. you get much better times with the ecu and kinda kill to birds with one stone

 

get the regular hood. and get the ecu.. go with techno you will get your ecu back much faster.

 

what about the rev limitor of 7200 rpm's can techno do it like jwt? if so definitly,but its a must that i get 7200, waste of mevi if i dont. anyone know the techno website address?

 

well i decided to go stock hood and ecu combo, but im unsure which ecu to go for ? i checked both jwt and techno to see but all i got was this

technosquare ecu- $595.00 fuel,ig

jwt ecu-$525.00 or $700.00 with core charge

it that what you guys are paying for these upgrades?i thought techno was cheaper than jwt

 

my friend payed $65 for a carbon fiber hood on ebay... with $200 s/h it came to $265. but i would have to agree with everybody... ecu>cf hood

 

i dont know where u get these outrageous prices for a cf hood, ive never sen one go over 380-400....redlinemax has em for 380...trtech has em for about 350-375....

 

yeah they were outrageous to me too, but thats the prices. and where did i get those you say

http://www.importfan.com/index.php?m...th=104_285_298 (plus 140 shipping)

http://visionautodynamics.com/interface.htm (i didnt ask here yet about shipping) but its $470 and i guess shipping

so thats why i shyed away from the cf hoods for now

 

www.redlinemax.com

how about that?

380
