2. Climb in between the bumper and the oil cooler.
3. Have girl friend close hood.
4. Call me on your cell phone for next instruction.
FSTJACK said:The pannels do more than ducting cool, high pressure, air to the factory airbox on the right (pass) side of the front end. They actually help the performance by allowing more air to flow around the front end smoothly.
It is an old race trick, (even the lightning guys know this) to put panels in the grill area so the air flows around, instead of through the grill.
It is all about aerodynamics, maybe Silverback can give an explination on why this works to reduce drag. It is proven that putting blocked off panels at the grill will change the coeficient of drag (CD) for the better.

BigBlackQC said:So I removed the plastic baffles behind the grill yesterday and later on was playing around on an empty road. Around 110-120 the hood popped up and was caught by the safety latch, so no damage. My question is: After removing these baffles, who has gone on some high speed runs? I know nowwhat runs 120+ in the 1/4 so I know you've seen these speeds. Has anyone else had a problem with under hood pressure before? I've run these speeds many times before and never had this problem. Any input is greatly appreciated. Also, I need a solution, and putting the baffles back in is not an option because I like the way the truck looks without them.
Thanks!

And we have a winner!!! I tape off the front of my hemi at the track a couple of times, it seemed to help but was a pain in the ass!!!mauiSRT/10 said:Yup!!!! Same reason why Nascar teams tape up the front grill as much as possible. Air flowing through the engine slows it down..................so at the track it helps...... everyday driving:dontknow: ....probably doesnt do much, so maybe dump em and run cooler!

Begood said:The hood latch is bolted to the radiator core support with 2 bolts, if you loosen those 2 bolts you can move the latch up or down.
