Actually, without that hood, I couldn't have one on the car cause the intake manifold sits up so high, the throttle body only has about a quarter inch of clearance. So one, it is actually functional cause it lets the manifold clear and it also does a really good job of keeping the engine bay cool at highway speeds. (large noticable difference on stock temp guage.)
