    Im telling you, paint adds hp. Cars are happier when they're cleaned up.

          I was gonna put speedholes in my inner bumper supports, but i cut speed sections in them i.e. all but the bare minimum was removed.

              Think that would clear an EFI 351 set-up?

                A fiberglass '87-'93 Mustang cowl hood scoop might look better on your '89 CV.

                  Coolness! Looking good. I was thinking about a scoop on my Marquis...But that'll wait until the car has a bit more power...

                    It might have the heigth, but im not sure if it has the width or legnth to clear it. My set up is pretty tall as it is though.

                      Yep...did the same to my 87. The problem is the actual bumper is still a heavy ass peice of steel. Damn thing still was strong enough to withstand a 10mph or better run into a wall. (I wasn't driving the car)
