With a 307 under that hood you have just entered the realm of "sticker charged" and "ground effect racer"...

Might be cool once you're running 10's or so...but you're gonna hate trying to see around that scoop on the street lol!

once i get the new engine which i just got my rotating assembly back it will run 12's im just gonna shoot it flat black and use it for the track so i can take advantage of the air pan and extra air coming in for added hp. for those guys it was good for a tenth to 2 tenths, The 307 is temporary lol. My actual intentions is to cut the scoop and add a cowl hood i talked to vfn fiberglass a block from where i work the said 150 for a cowl made to fit my hood all i gotta do is bond it on. the main thing is i saved my self the work of making my own air pan and buying more hood pins which i needed. would have been 75 bucvks in pins alone lol. I beat a 350z the other day that little 307 can hold it's own on the street lol. plus it was 100 bucks i could not pass that up

i have done worst in front of cops and got away with it. It seems if you have a classic car you get off the hook pretty easy. I drove past a cop doing 60 in a 45 and he just ran my plates as he drove behind me and didnt even bother pulling me over
