Well not entirely charger related, but for my coronet. I'd like to pick up the 440 Six Pack Hood. Just wondering if anyone knows the least expensive place to pick one up from. Year-one sells em for 494$ and if I call today I can use that 20% discount. So I guess my question is, should I use that 20% discount today before it expires, or is it easy to find them for about $400. Thanks

Quality wise, at this point in time, the Year One hood is better than the rest. 

There are cheaper race weight type hoods out there, but tend to bow at high speeds, and have a greater tendency to warp over time.

*Speed costs money son, how fast do you want to go, and for how long?"
*"Build the biggest engine you can afford the first time."
*"We normally wouldn't use a 383 for this build, parts and labor for a 440 cost the same."

Thanks for the advice. Ended up buying the hood from Yearone. Saved about 100$ with the 20% off, so not too bad. 3-4week turn around.

Shipping was about 145$...
Cost was 494$ - 20% = 395.. total came out to 537. Not too bad in my mind. I've seen a few more cheaper but like you said you pay a bit more for the quality.
