wythors said:Don't run a hood like that if you can't back it up.
The cowl induction hood is not a new idea and it actually works. That's why NASCAR uses them in their Winston Cup Cars. As the air passes over the opening, it creates a vacuum of cold air over the windshield. This allows the hot air from inside the engine compartment to escape letting the engine breathe cooler air and therefore running stronger and longer.

FarBeyondDriven said:Just out of curiosity.. what is the required horsepower / torque ratings required to run a 4" hood.
wythors said:In my mind, the "requirement" for a 4" cowl hood is a need for clearance. If you're just running it because it looks cool, that moves into Ricer territory of form without function.
"Hey dude, badass hood! Whatcha' runnin'?"
"Stock five-oh."
"Oh, whaddaya run with that thing?"
"Low 14's."
"What's with the hood?"
"Looks cool."

FarBeyondDriven said:But it does function when you consider it lets a ton of heat out.. i dunno.. i have a 4 inch hood, and i actually do need it for clearance, i just like the look of foxes with decent hoods.. then again, i like cars that look like they can eat other cars.. i am the farthest thing from liking the sleeper look. i do appreciate it, but if a car is fast (IMO) it should look fast..then again, if its not fast, i can see where youre coming from.
I have never heard of anyone not liking a 17" wheel on any car...come on how can you not like the way the wheel well is filled so nicely...2-1/2 cowl by the way.85ragtop said:Well I have never seen a reason to put 17’s on a fox. But I am not going to rag on some one for doing it. I don’t see any reason to run a 4” hood, but if the guy likes it so what?
