The only issues with it are that it's not strong enough to force the shaker scoop seal 'down'. By that I mean, the seal is pretty stiff, and if it sits up high at all (which mine did before), the hood isn't going to flatten it out. My hood bulged a little in the middle because of it. And thus my need to find a drop shaker base...

I am going with a flat hood so I shouldn't have any problems. I want to do some hood mods.
