The hood clears!

I cut a small rectangle hole in the under hood mat and it has plenty of clearance, Ok mayby not plenty but about 1/2"

Shouldnt be any problem when the engine torques. I painted the small cutout flat black and it kind of disapears under the hood.

I know everyone is on the edge of their seat.
How does it run?
Its to early to say but I know I have a traction problem!
I just took it for a 10 min cruise to get it warmed up and check for leaks. I will work on it more tomorrow after work. All for tonight.
