Big O Posted February 25, 2007 Report Share Posted February 25, 2007 I don't know if raising the bump stops will make worse. I guess it depends on what the bump stops are doing right now ... if they are not solid against the hood then raising them would help. If they are already solid and then you raise them ( in effect raising the hood and increasing the gap ) then I would have to agree with Mister P. But if you are just making a more solid point for the hood to rest on ... then the gap would not be increased and the drag would be the same.

Chevcup47 Posted February 25, 2007 Report Share Posted February 25, 2007 maby check to see if the hood catch on the core support can be loosened and slid down a bit making the hood shut tighter and closing the gap up some by lowering the rubber stops i mighr go look in it on mine see what i can do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted February 25, 2007 Report Share Posted February 25, 2007 Oh yeah, you know what I did once? I even took out the hood latch mechanism and drilled the two holes with a drill so that the latch could go further down I removed like 1/8 ... Maybe a cowl induction hood would help relieve some of that airflow Going at 120 with all the air coming from the front would have a definite force on the front of the hood because it's the only place it would be able to exit the engine compartment.

I look at the stops and they on the bottum of the hood, they are not pushing the hood up at all . I may play around with it . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fireman31 Posted March 1, 2007 Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 I had that problem with my SS, I messed around with the bump stops and it went away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njr2211 Posted March 5, 2007 Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 I was at a stop light and another guy pulled up next to me ( chevy silverado ), and he said my hood was open. I kind of freaked out, never noticed the gap on the passenger side. Sure as shit, it was raised up alittle bit, opened it up, turned down the stops, didn't help much. Gonna have the dealer body shop take a look at it. Maybe they can fix it? I have noticed it does shake alittle over 45....................
