Default xc which bonnet to use at the drags HELP

ok I need some technical help.

Getting my XC sedan ready for Fathers Day drags.

Car is doing 12.2 currently, I want any advantage I can get to get in to 11's.

Currently running a steel XBGT bonnetwith the scoops.

Question, which is best to run for lower ET?

Fibreglass bonnet with GT scoops or standard Steel bonnet with cowl induction type scoop. (Probably use an SLR5000 one for ease)

Anyone got any pics of the scoops they use on their cars???

Id say the glass bonnet but i doubt you will see 2 tenths out of it.
We may be able to help you with an 11 if you give us the full combo though.

Bonnet's won't do much. I've got both steel and fibreglass (4 bonnets). When the cars been at it's quickest it's been running a 1/2 steel bonnet and a full steel one.
