This is sort of a performance question- at what mph do I stop trusting the factory latch to keep the hood shut? I went 10.7 @ 125 recently- time for pins?
Thanks!
Thanks!

Jim Bgonz 69 Jan 25th, 08, 06:29 PM I've seen cars go 160+ with a steel hood and factory latch and a friends got a Harwood glass cowl hood on his camaro and runs 136 mph with the factory latch and no pins . You need not worry............ bob 2x67rs/ss Jan 25th, 08, 07:02 PM Have been 142mph with the stock RS latch holding my glasstek fiberglass cowl hood. I have considered pins but dont want to drill the holes! I guess when it fly's open and dents the roof we will know what speed is safe. |
