The strongest parts of the hood are the infrastructure. Thats the part of the hood below the initial top layer of sheet metal that you see from the outside. Im guessing Joe will tell us that most of the underlying frame was still intact, and that the part that is flipped up is the top sheet of the hood that peeled away.

it doesn't matter. the fuel pump could be low pressure or otherwise, regardless of being injected or not. besides, let's assume it was 30-40 psi, it would of blown ignited fuel everywhere under the hood, catching rubber, plastic and other burnable bits on fire, but those pictures show no fire damage.
