Hey, I know some people like it, but I think it's too darn high!!

It looks like a cowl inducted hood with rally striping.

Really, I didn't ask "what is this?" I asked "how dumb is this?" I know what it is.

Maybe just me, but I like cowl hoods.
As a bonus, drawing the air from the cowl, is much more efficiant than from the front, + there is no added drag.

Its not really needed because there are no higher intakes for the Fbodies, but it does give the car a nasty attitude. A 4" or bigger cowl, now that is getting alittle much.

How does the air go in??

Luckily I can count to ten, whipper snapper .

The way a cowl hood works is that it picks up high pressure air which builds up on the windshield cowl , since the air under the hood is low or of lower pressure ,the air takes the path of least resistance. The closer the hood cowl is to the windshield cowl the more efficient.

The backdraft suck's it in. Kinda like when I fly by our local honda club and they get sucked into my world then spit back out. JAZ

JR is there anything you dont want to put on your car?

Jr · **Posted:** Wed Oct 24, 2001 2:53 pm

Ummm "Powered by Honda" Stickers...... well just not on the outside... I'll put them under the hood for x-tra Hp's!!!!

JazWhelan · **Posted:** Wed Oct 24, 2001 3:02 pm

That would be sweet I think 1 honda sticker= 2hp so you better buy alot of sticker's.

JackZ28 · **Posted:** Wed Oct 24, 2001 6:34 pm

I would much rather have the SS hood, or the Ultra Z hood. JMO!!!

I don't see a picture....Mike

I really like the cowl induction hoods too. You can see over them better that whats in the picture, looks like the camera may have been lower than normal eye level.

At least I sit higher than that in my car

JackZ28 · **Posted:** Wed Oct 24, 2001 10:25 pm

Yeah, I figured that once I looked at it a couple times, but it's just not my style, that's all..

I'm glad everyone else likes it, though...

Jr · **Posted:** Thu Oct 25, 2001 5:35 am

Well I'm up to 10 stickers now with 20 more on the way will that suffice???

I only like the 2" cowl hoods... I wouldn't want a 4".... so there is somthing else I don't want for the car Jaz!
