This is probably me. (Electric Blue PT, CA "MIHOSHI" license plates?)

The hood is the dual scoop Keystone hood that I got from PT Tuning.

The scoops are ducted to an Airaid style box that mates up and seals
around the ducting hole so you get a fairly closed system from the
hood to the intake filter. (Basically the stock airbox is used, but
with a cone K&N style filter, with the airbox lid replaced by the
Airaid system.) Since the new hood is fiberglass, I also probably
managed to loose a few pounds as well.

The coilovers are the BTG ones, again from PT Tuning. They're
basically re-branded H&Rs.

If I recall the numbers correctly, I dropped it 2" in the rear and
1-1/2" up front to remove the rake. I also put in the BTG front strut
tower brace and Eibach swaybars front and back.

Setup for my best runs were as follows:
Setup: rear seats, tire, and jack out. About 1/3 tank of the usual
crappy CA 91 octane. Goodyear rubber on the stock 17" chrome rims,
and auto transmission.

Mods: H&R coilovers, Eibach sway bars, functional Goodhood dual scoop
hood feeding an Airraid airbox, and BTG front strut bar, and Mopar BOV. *No* Stage 1, exhaust, or any kind of engine mod other than the
Mopar BOV.

Best run as follows: ( at CA Speedway, 9/18/04 )

R/T: .137
60': 2.265
330: 0.000
1/8: 9.753@12.732 MPH
1000: 12.732
1/4: 15.243@89.27 MPH

This guy came to the track with us one or two times.. he had this hood that had a small scoop in the front middle.. inside the hood it had a tube or something in it that came around and dropped right over the stock air box. he was running as fast as some guys with stage one.. well he also had the mopar coilovers.. so not sure if it was that or the suspension.. the hood was expensive ..

you can get universal hood scoops.. then you just cut a hole and put them on.. paint..ect.. you could put a mesh grill to keep out big things.. but your engine bay gets a lot more durty with those since dirt and stuff gets in more easily..

Thanks.. Adam
