The hood installation is more if the engine bay catches on fire, the plastic tabs ill melt and help contain it. Least thats what I've been told.

It will not make much difference unless you are trying to show it. I have gone without my insulation in the Camaro for about 6 months now because I had a belt snap and make a clean removal of it.

Hi Scott291racing,

Welcome to the Chevy Forums.

I always thought the hood insulation was for sound deadening purposes...

Some rodent started camping inside my engine compartment fuse panel cover, and the little peckerhead ripped insulation off my hood and firewall to feather his "nest".
