Default Hood
Hi Chuck,

People used to shim the rear edge of the hood open about one inch on cars used for drag racing years ago. Might work on the Cobra, the guys at HDR in Montana have hood vents similar to the mid 60's XKE, maybe they can comment on high speed stability. Here's one of their pictures. Hope they don't mind me stealing a pic for from free press.
