Does the air come from the cowl or from the nostrils in front of the hood.

Need to buy a hood. Not many choices out there. Leaning toward a

I want to get as much air into the motor as possible. Any ideals?
Do I want a hood that extends to the windshield or stops at the cowl?
Or what?

If going with a cowl hood then this picture may be helpful as to how to seal off the T/B to the hood.

I haven't seen many hoods like that. Looks like a Pro Stock.
Anyone sell one?

Can't get the pic up in the photobucket.

If the hood is resting against the windshield, I don't see much air coming in that way.
I understand, with a non-extended hood you have that 4" gap to let all the air you want in.

Trim the hood so it doesnt touch the glass like SAM did.

It fits tighter than it looks, it's just sitting on the car in that pic
