cause dzeus fastners suck, especially with a large scoop. I don't want to be an Eddie and watch the hood blow off at 100mph+. actually been there done that
Get yourself some lanyards- like A-12- so you can keep them with the hood when you lift it off. Lots of pins to keep track of...

Why the pin and not zues fasteners
For me I like them as I fear having to pull off a hood in an emergency like a fire with the Dzus
I use to worry about that but I keep a dzus tool in my race pants pocket and another velco'd in the car and the dzus fasteners have WAY less air drag, besides looking better than those trees growing out of the hood...... JMO

by the time you got your old rear end out the car and got the hood off it would be to late

that has nothing to do with it as far as I am concerned. I like them because they are easy and quick to remove. and you don't have to worry about them popping loose and the hood blowing off. thats it. I wont run fast enough to worry about anything else

If the scoop was mounted to the engine like this, you wouldn't worry about the hood blowing off, or bulging down track.
so true Dave, but I didn't build this car. it was like this when I bought it. so it is what it is. If I live long enough to finish my duster it will be like yours was.
