If you do a lift off, don't use 4 hood pins. You need more stability and tighter fit. Use about 8 Dzus fasteners (these are fasteners used on racecars hoods, front ends, and removable panels). I just did a 4" cowl on mine. The hood I think is about 8lbs. and its going nowhere even if the car is over 130mph. That is just my opinion. The Force
