I'm going with the cowl myself. Trying to think of a way to force air from the cowl to the intake without going with a carb lol

I was kind of thinking of going with the ultra Z hood and cutting it up and making a 2.5 or 3" cowl then reattaching the ram air?

I know I'm not gaining any performance from swapping hoods from the stock Z28 hood except a cooler engine bay. So this is purely a visual mod....


Totally off topic...can the chrome lip/dish of a wheel be powdercoated?

I just saw the 3" SS hood, definitely my favorite so far and I kinda like the stingray hood as well...I agree that sunoco 3" is pretty sexy as well.

ahhhh so many choices.
