Common Sense GT car rules revision!

Would you have to put the scoop on a stock hood? Or could you use the very expensive carbon fiber hoods floating around in SuperStock on GT cars?

My hood is steel OEM TA hood. I would suggest just incorporating the correct shaker or hood scoop that the RAM AIR engine came from original OEM in the car. Factory hypo cars run the ram air HP rating as we all know it was done for two reasons. First one being ram air, but the most important reason hood clearance so we can get a good intake on there to properly represent the HP rating. We lose both of these by going to the GT cars.
