Is it necessary to have a svo hood or any hood that will force air through the engine compartment. I have a basic tbird tc engine in a 89 lx. I have a old hood that someone cut a hole in it and it looks like crap so i put a sheetmetal scoop on it and it looks even worse. Will i get away with the stock hood? I was thinking of the ram air hood but it cost 369 + bucks and it ain't painted. Would a FMIC be cheaper to put together with a stock hood from a junk yard.

Yeah, the FMIC would be a better thing to buy.. you'll get better numbers, and it will cost slightly less, even with the JY hood..

Absolutely, do the FMIC thing! Just mount your TC intercooler up front and run some piping - cheap, fast and simple!
