Do we have to run an engine cover/hood to be comp legal? It looks like my 1.5" die isn't gonna show up until the 3rd since protools can't keep up with the demand and I was planning on using 1.5" tube for the supports.

I think you will need a hood.
WEROCK wants you seperated from the engine in case of fire. I think the hood will need to be there to enclose the engine somewhat.
Scab something together that can be chopped off later.

yes you will need a hood also a full firewall or cover the sides of the engine

Hopefully my firewall will be adequate. I guess I will get some type of hood built.

If your firewall goes all the way across and is lexan or sheet metal you will be fine. if your firewall does not cover from bar to bar you will need to cover the sides of the engine up to the radiator and the back of the engine needs to be metal
