SPF Hood Scoop Rivets coming out
I've noticed two rivets on my hood scoop have "raised up" a little bit since I got my SPF. Only about 800 miles so far - ON THE CAR!! ...the rivets haven't moved nearly that far. Maybe 1/8-3/16"  . This engine did blow apart a Summit Fuel Pressure gauge, but come on... It's only a 508 HP 408cid windsor. Not like I'm making 800 HP out of a straight 351 just with compression and a cam. I could see that shaking some things to pieces.
Any SPF owners experience the same thing ever? I'm probably just going to have the guys at Dynamic look at it at SSR 3, but wanted to also know if anyone else had similar experiences.
And just to pre-answer some questions that may come up, there does not appear to be any heat damage whatsoever to the hood, and no the car has never been wrecked.
