just as the title, due to the top mount inter-cooler setup on the 3sgte, is the GT4 style hood required for optimal performance?

The GT4 hood is functional for TMIC. No, its not. The hood has nothing to do with the intercooler, and is not needed for a 3sgte swap. The only benefit to the hood is over all better engine bay cooling, and it makes for a nicer looking car. -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned
