This is a prototype being tested for fitment by Eric. As far as we can tell, it will only fit the LPE snout. We may be able to adjust the opening to work with the stock throttle body, but that would be another project.

We should have this project close to completion by year end.

That is bad ***. Should really help with the heat issues where do I order

We need approval from our customer; he will get fitment validated first, then we will release it to the forum. Katech has put their seal of approval on this hood, especially on the modded ZR1.

Our 13:1 561RWHP Z06 saw reduced water temps of 25 degrees two years ago during 70 degree weather. 160F thermostat still registered at 185 to 195 all the time, with E85 and our high CR.

On the trip back from our carbon fiber shop, same day and weather, the ECT went down to 167F to 170F (stopped).

When we we at the Autobahn Katech Track Attack, our water temps never exceeded 201F after 5 hard laps. We had Short Throw in our car at the time.

Another customer with our hood had the same experience with his Katech build and our GT2 hood.

Here are some pictures of the Halltech GT2 Hood on the Z06. Same exact design, but sans the window. http://www.halltechsystems.com/Hallt...Hood-p/gt2.htm

Very nice! Too bad I don't have the LPE snout/CAI.

Now that is a gorgeous hood

Eric had a Z06 with our hood onboard, and before he sold the Z06, tried fitment on the ZR1 with the stock snout. It just made contact with the throttle body in the arch we have built in, but a slight amount of tweeking would likely open that area up to fit.

The window is not the stock window. There was not enough room to install the stock unit without redoing the $20,000 mold we have done.

If it will fit the stock intake system, I'm in. Will the hood fit your carbon CAI?

It will with minor trimming in the waterfall area. Once I get the prototype hood I will clearance it for both the factory snout and LPE snout and send it back to Jim to get it into production. I think this hood will aid in keeping the ZR1s temps in check.

Dicecal

Good deal, as you would be severely limiting your market if the hood only fit the LPE snout/CAI

Halltech

Still the throttle body contact. We will have a solution for that in the next couple of months.

I have the LPE so get it done and ship me one to try out

I see you have a link to my video on your website, but no pictures of my ride? That vid is out dated since those stock spyders are long gone. Guess I will have to make another one.



Seriously, Halltech's hood is top notch. Even the painter commented on the quality of the hood. He stated that he has painted several aftermarket hoods for various corvettes and this one was the best by far.

When I was have some issues making final adjustments (getting the front to sit flush), Jim quickly responded to my email and helped me out with some "tricks".

I think this hood will look sic on a ZR1.

How is the build going

I fitted the first prototype hood on my car this week. It's on is way back to Halltech for some minor adjustments and should be ready for production by the end of December. Fit and finish is Awesome.

That's awesome - would have loved to see pics of it on your car

Funny we talked about this last week.

Can't wait for finished product either

The window we had just wasn't a quality piece so the hood manufacter is making a mold of a 2" shorter version of the OE ZR1 window. The window will be made of the the same material as the OE window. Hopefully have it completed by the end of March.
