Default Cowl hoods

I know these things aid in performance on big block drag cars but do they help in any of the least bit on our cars? I think it looks ridiculous

If you want a high pressure area to get air under your hood easily, it's the grille or the cowl. Cowl induction has one benefit front induction does not, that you can have a fuel pressure gauge looking at you from the engine bay. Also if you fit an inline V8 or something you can have more room for the engine.



Style depends heavily on personal preference, see the previous post!
