[QUOTE="Blaine, post: 8682845, member: 36571"] Not sure if a tuner can. Mine tried a few different tunes to smooth it out and was unable to. Car would die when you let out of the gas and depressed the clutch at over 40 mph. Even tried the screen. Cars with Supersnake Hoods and KB's had the same problems. Their answer to fix the problems was a screen before the MaF which smoothed out the air turbulence until Shelby Changed the hood design to fix it. This worked for them since the KB intake and MaF were closer together then the C & L intake which has the MaF in the middle of the intake tube. Fender mount would be easier to fix since air is coming from one direction. With the hood air is coming from above, side, and below the intake causing mayhem with the MaF's airflow. I guess in a way the air would collide in the intake from 3 directions. With the flap I made it direct the Hood Air in the direction the fender air would be coming from cutting back on the amount of air colliding and causing air distortion. I'm no air flow expect by no means, but in theory I thought it would work.. and it worked out for a quick easy fix. If only I had a wind tunnel I could use.:shrug: I plan on going TT's this winter so hood won't do anything but cool the engine bay. I'll try to get a pic up of what I did. [/QUOTE]
