Hood Stack
So, we are toying with building a "Hood Stack" kit. Most likely availble in 5, 6, and 7" straight or miter cut styles. My question is would you rather see an easy bolt on style application, or a weld on application? Let's hear your feed back please!
Thanks in advance! |
A bolt on hood stack would probably be easier to install then welding one on there, but the welded stack might look better depending on how the flange looks.

Need a test dummy? I could hurry up and get my engine in the little truck and try it out:hehe: Chris |
Is this application going to be turbo specific? or is this just for the section through the hood?

I like:evil Now to get the engine in and the turbos mounted...they're gonna be tough to fit in there:hehe: Chris |

We are going to probably persue this completely...so if you are looking for everything needed...then we would probably build it that way... Sorta like the "universal" vs. "complete" set up.... |

REALLY large...
So assuming we just need a short stack and the flange, that would be offered too? For those "custom" chargers? Chris |

Only thing we need to know is the plumbing coming off of the turbo...is that going to be 4" or 5"? Or does this depend on the set up? |

At least in my feeble little mind! Chris |

I was thinking 5,6, and 7" hood stacks. Maybe something like 18-20" tall? Yes, No? |
Maybe that tall for some people...I'm guessing most will want them 12" or less to the high side of a mitre...of course, everyone may be a little different!
Personally, 5", 6", and 7" should be enough...but someone is gonna want an 8":hehe: Chris |

Do any of the racing or pulling orginazations have any "minimum" requirments? Maybe one of them will chime in here, and help us out. :doh: I'm sure someone is gonna want a 8" one also...:bang |
No minimum requirements unless it has to be street legal...other than that, I believe it's all personal preference!
I've heard from some old tractor pullers that they need to be able to see the smoke and see what it's doing...and also if they get any flame out the stack...hence the stacks were shorter. Some other stacks are taller...like I said, all personal preference! Chris |

This is going to be a great setup when its all done with. |
Ill offer mine as a beta tester since I've already got one. Mine is welded, bolt on would be much easier. If you would like my number I can tell you what some little bits that need tone addressed.

I think the idea of hoodstack kit is great!!!
Are you going to offer the ring that goes around the hole in the hood too? A lot of people ask for those especially if they did a hack job on the hood with a sawzall. Just an idea....$.02 |
