there are no readily available aftermarket hoods for our cars, there was one guy selling some TII style hoods on ebay, but its been months since
rotorhead.ca was supposed to be making some drop vented hood in CF or fiberglass, but i think they are still in development

do the conversion, you wont be sorry. The rotaries are great motors but peoples jaws drop when i tell them theres a 406 under the hood.

I think its safe to say its pretty quick.

How big of a shot are you going to run? Great thing about the pissed-on engines is that you can run a large shot with less chance of running into problems.
