The lift off i had was great, I had one on my 86 iroc and my 88 iroc with the 383. I had both Harwood hoods which fit great and very very good quality. The hood weighed like 5-10 lbs, like a little wind would blow it away if i leaned it up anywhere. I would pull the pins, than grab it from the front and lift if over my head and put it on the roof of the car while i worked on the engine. and keep in mind it was a convertible top that i put the hood on and without any problems. In the 88 iroc i went way over 100mph without problems but once in my 86 iroc a front hood pin came out at like 90mph but luckily i had a one piece front end bra on the car and it saved my hood from getting ripped off, lol. And with my 94 z28, im doing a lift off hood from Glasstek because of price and weight, and i dont mind having to remove the whole hood to work on the motor.
