Cowl hood
Hey all i've been wantin one of these for quite some time. I just wonder if it'll really be worth it. I'm curious what ya'll think. From a flow aspect i can see how it works well and helps get more air to the engine and actually has small improvement in aerodynamics. Anyone know the gains on adding one of those hoods? They are pretty costly so i'd liek any imput. Thanks

i have one on my 73 blazer and i can say it does not really help with performance if that is what you are thinking. i have had mine for 1 year and all it has really done for me is almost cause a couple accidents. how you ask? well when your driving after you put it on guess what you are looking at al of the time is. wondering if it looks good or not. i like it but one last thing unless you still need to paint your whole truck. take the time to paint or get it painted before you put it on. just my 2 cents

The best thing it does as far as gains, is your ride will look alot cooler.
