Well it's summer time. Do we take off the scoop plate on the Hood or not??  Have heard both ways.  Susposelly runs cooler with it on, but I think you would getmore air into carb. What does everyone think. Also just had my exhaust changed (55 T-Bird 292) ,  2 1/4 pipe from manifold to back of X member and 2 Dyanamat tilted up with new 2 1/4 to below bumper, turn down tips. And have original tips thru bumper for looks.  Sure sounds good and seems a little quicker, also floorboard is cooler.  Steve there is enough room for a balance tube under the driveshaft, but have not put on yet. May want it quieter in future,...   Thanks guys  sure appreciate you all    God Bless   Eddie

PS  Do you think I will need to change jets? Blue thunder and AFB
