We're proud to announce that Arrowhead Performance is now taking orders on our "V-Crest" fiberglass ram air hood for the GTO. Made of the highest quality materials available the fit and finish is superb, saving you in paint prep and installation costs. Our unique styling makes the V-Crest hood a stand out from twin scoop designs from the factory and other aftermarket hoods all while being fully functional.

Coupled with our WS-6 styled airbox (to be released in early July) the V-Crest hood will add fresh cool air straight to your throttle body without any unnecessary ductwork. This system will work with both a naturally aspirated engine and the Magnacharger Radix GTO supercharger kit. Pictures coming soon.

Pictured below is our prototype hood with non-functional scoops and our hood mounted gauge pod. Production hoods will arrive with fully functional open scoops and the hood mounted gauge pod is available separately.

Please contact me if you have any questions or to place an order.

Arrowhead Performance V-Crest hood: $795 + shipping

OOoooooooh, aaaaaaaahhhhh. Very cool, nice job on that, can't wait to see the airbox to go with it! :)

Hey Howie,

Hood looks great! i put that on i am sure to rattle the nerves of the driver looking at me in the rearview mirror.

couple questions:

what is the weight difference from the stock hood to your V-Crest hood?

are the scoops functional at high speeds or does the aero force the air over the scoop? how did you guy's test that?

what hardware comes with the hood? are the hinge mounts pre drilled?

what gages will be availbale from you for the gage pod?

what provisions were made to prevent rain from entering the scoops?

is it shipped with a primer coat on it?

thanks
mike

Hood ships in gelcoat primer finish. I don't have an exact difference in the wieght but the fiberglass is is much lighter. Hinge mounts, hood latch, etc are pre-fabbed and ready for hardware transfer from you stock hood. Scoop is on the front edge of the hood's curve on purpose to catch air before it goes over the hood. Did we use a wind tunnel to test, well kinda. :D Top of the airbox is louvered to prevent rain and water from entering. As long as you don't take to car wash pressure sprayer and blast water up there you'll be fine.

Gauge pod will hold just about any 2 1/16" gauge that you'd like to put in it. We have test fitted a larger number of different Autometer gauges.

thanks for the quick reply. all sounds good to me. now to make my decision.
