Possible hood for 3sgte, do-able without the gt-4 hood? Options

[ScoobyDooCruiser]

Hey,
I know the 3sgte engine usually is put in a car that has the gt-4 hood and bumper cause it needs the increased airflow or whatever. I was thinking of getting the VIS carbon fiber hood that charlie97 is getting set up for us. If I put a vent in the front stock bumper, and cut a couple more holes in the carbon fiber hood, is there any way this could go with the 3sgte engine. This would save a decent amount of the $$$ that doing the conversion would cost. Any ideas?

From what I know, the reason you'll need the GT4 hood is because the 3sgte comes with a top mount intercooler. if you get a front mount intercooler, you should be fine with the VIS hood.
