Default what kind of hood is it?
I just purchased a VIS hood and hear mixed things about hood pins or no hoodpins. The guy I bought it from said he had it on his car for over a year at speeds over 100mph and saw no problems

Default Not something I would try when going 130+mph.
Which is why I run hood pins on my CF hood seeing that the car always hits 130+mph every time I drive it.

Default I have taken to 125 but I dont have a chance to take it to the track very often....
and if you take your car to 130+ everyday on the street I hope you kill yourself and not some family coming the other direction..... Natural selection will catch you even at those speeds...
