Here are some more information for Hood Scoop Hot:
Pontiac's second-generation ponycar was a little late for the party in 1970, but it was worth the wait! The 1970 Firebird was a completely new design from the ground up, not sharing any major suspension or body components with the previous model. The car was praised by the car magazines for its bold new styling, sports-car like handling, and excellent acceleration abilities when equipped with the right engine. It had been improved immensely over the first generation cars in almost every way.
The 1970 Pontiac Firebird rode on a 108" wheelbase, the same as the new Camaro. It was only available as a two door coupe; the convertible had been dropped from the lineup, and would not return as a factory option until 24 years later. The 70 Firebird came with bucket seats, front disc brakes, and a front stabilizer bar. There were four trim levels available: the base Firebird, the Esprit, the Formula, and the Trans Am.
The base car came with a 250 CID inline six cylinder engine and a three-speed manual transmission, but a 255 horsepower Pontiac 350 V8 and an automatic transmission were available options. The Esprit came standard with the same 350 V8 and three speed manual transmission, and an optional automatic transmission was also available. It had stiffer spring rates than the base car. The 1970 Firebird Formula can be easily identified by the dual forward-facing hood scoops, and it came with a 330 horsepower Pontiac 400 V8 (NOW we're talking!) and a three speed manual transmission. A four speed manual or an automatic transmission were available options. The Formula came with the same springs as the base car, but with heavier duty shocks, a larger diameter front stabilizer bar, and a rear stabilizer bar. It could also be special ordered with the same suspension as the Trans Am, and you could even get a Ram Air III (also called Ram Air HO) 335 HP 400 V8 in it.
The 1970 Trans Am was all about performance. It came with the Ram Air III engine above, but an optional Ram Air IV engine was available that produced 345 (370 according to some sources) horsepower. The base transmission in the Trans Am was a wide ratio Muncie four speed with a Hurst shifter. It came with 15" wheels, larger front and rear stabilizer bars than the Formula, the stiffer springs from the Esprit, and the heavier-duty shocks from the Formula. The 1970 Trans Am also had a shaker hood, which means that there was a rear-facing air intake scoop mounted atop the carburetor, and that scoop protruded through an opening in the hood to draw fresh, cool air into the engine. It had front and rear spoilers, and air extractors on both front fenders to allow hot air to escape from the engine compartment. The 70 Trans Am was only available in two color schemes, either white with blue stripes or blue with white stripes.
There were a total of 48,739 Pontiac Firebirds produced in 1970, including only 7,708 Formulas and 3,196 Trans Ams. The Formulas and Trans Ams were excellent performers due to the 400 cubic inch engine, with 0-60 MPH times in the six second range. When you combine the improved handling characteristics of the new platform with the power of the Pontiac 400 engine, the 1970 Pontiac Firebird was one of the best all around musclecars of the era. It is one of my favorite cars of all time.

Cold air intake improves engine life
A cold air intake is a device which captures cold air and takes it quickly to the engine. It is a simple device and does not seem to be doing anything very special. Yet a cold air intake gives you multiple benefits and by doing that gives you great value for your money.
By taking sumptuous amount of cold air directly to the engine it provides the engine with abundant oxygen. Cold is important too because for a given volume more air will fit in if it is cold and less will fit in if it is hot. This abundant oxygen ensures that the fuel is combusted very well and fuel left unignited due to a lack of oxygen is reduced. The fact that a higher percentage of the fuel is combusted means you get a better fuel efficiency. And the fact that more fuel is burnt in every engine cycle means you get more power. Often extra power is at the cost of lower fuel efficiency but a cold air intake manages to do both.
One key feature is that a cold air intake takes air directly and quickly to the engine. Unlike the stock car air intake which makes the air travel a long distance to the engine. In traveling the long distance the air heats up and is no longer as cold by the time it reaches the engine.
A great additional benefit is that now the engine operates at a lower temperature. So the conditions for the components of the engine are less severe. They are able to perform for a longer duration and this leads to a longer engine life.
The benefits of a cold air intake don’t end there. If you add a hood scoop to capture the air it adds to the look of the car as well by giving it a sporty performance car look. If you have bought body kits for your car this can further enhance the styling of your car.
And the cold air intake also gives your car a high powered roar. This roar will underline its performance car image. You can know more about car aftermarket products at www.ilovebodykits.com

is there any way to make a 94 cherokee run cooler?
I am thinking about adding a second electric cooling fan. I read this on a web site, the only thing is an electric fan only runs when the temp guage says its hot, where the engine fan is always running, so that doesnt make sence to me. I am goin to install fiber glass fenders, and a fiberglass hoood, with air induction. So that shuold help. Any opinions on which hood would be better for Gas milage the air induction facing towards the windshield, or the hood scoop facing towards the grill? the scoop seems like more air but more drag, would it bee enough to effect gas mileage? My jeep is my baby and i want to give her the best chance every tiem i do something. any ideas?
Do you have an over heatting problem?
Well, first run a syn. oil and use TCI trans fluid, those 2 will not only give longer life to your trans and engine but will also cause it to run cooler.
Use "water wetter" by redline in the cooling system. I have seen people put vents in the hood and even fans on the hood to suck out heat.
The fan in you jeep comes on at a temp like 195 why do you think this is when the jeep is about to fry? even 220 is ok... Putting another fan to come on when the factory one comes on if fine.... The 2 fans will work to cool the engine coolent down quicker, this really is the best way.
If you get a rad, with extra cooling , lets say an aftermarket rad, the fan will still come on at the same temp as you have now. You can try putting in a 160 or 180 fan temp unit but as soon as winter comes around 160 is going to make your heater inside suffer.
Try to do the easy steps, get a 160 or 180 sender for current set up.
Good Luck
