Tiger racing hoods.

[racebronco2]

Good news for the s197 guys .... tiger racing has bolt-on hoods now. Tiger racing has contracted with ford racing to supply ford racing with a bolt-on hoods. Paul had to step-up with a bolt-on hood. Fiberglass is 749 or 799 and carbon fibre is 1249 or 1299.

I talked to paul brown about the new 5.0 getting too hot on track in the sunmmer heat. He said the 5.0's that he uses are crate engines, with fluidine radiators and oil coolers and of course his hood design. In oklahoma in 90* weather and 95% humidity they were running 230* water temps and if i remember correctly 270* oil temps. That is spinning the motors up to 8100rpms.

Are they doing both 10-12 and 05-09 in bolt on or just 10-12?

I'm glad someone gets them...too bad it's not us. Lucky S197's...

Both 05-09 and 10-12.

I really wish they would make a bolt on style hood for us 99-04 guys. I would love to have one of those hoods not only for the cooling effects but the looks too.

Yeah but the majority of people want a bolt on hood. Those are liftoff hoods.

Im in the process of grafting c/f mounts onto my 03/04 lift off hood so I dont have to mess with taking it on and off every time I want to quickly check the oil. If they work Ill post up some pictures.

They are great hoods! We love ours and it definitely sheds the heat off a 5.0!

gotcha,
missed the bolt-on vs lift-off distinction
sorry

I also want to get one soon. Hopefully by the end of this year. Hey 03 DSG Snake how well did the hood fit? Is the fiberglass heavier than stock?

 

[gcassidy]

Now I have even more reason to want a 2011. If only I had even more $$$. :shrug:

saw the thread title and for a second I thought finally a bolt-on hood for the 99-04s but of course only the S197 get all the attention :nonono:

but seeing the temperatures posted I'd rather keep my 03 GT :lol1:

Bringing this one back to pass on some info.

I called Tiger Racing today and was told that the 99-04 guys can expect a bolt on hood this year around May or so. They recently pulled all the equipment out for the hood and are getting ready to work on the hinges and latch assembly. They would also like to make a hood that works for both the 03/04 cobra bumper as well as all others.

 

[racebronco2]

That's great news.

 

[98 Saleen Cobra]

Damn.. Need some 96-98 love too. for bolt on ofcoarse.

 

[Blkkbgt]

The guy I talked to didn't mention the 96-98 cars but he said that they were working their way back down the line so maybe that means they will be producing one for you guys?
