For all of these photos you show of cars w/cowls, there`s WAY more running a real mopar scoop..............to each his own. If they were that bad ass, pro stock cars would be running em. 
the 6 pak scoop definately has it's appeal but as i asked before, how fast are you running with the 6 pak? the cowl definately is more aerodynamic & instead of upping to that huge elephant looking snout/scoop that the Pro Stock classes run, i'd rather have a cowl, chevy look or not, the cowl is a better option if you want to be fast.

i just realized something also while lookin through this thread,all the real real fast cars have cowl hoods,imagine how much faster they would be with twin snorkle or 6 pack hoods lol 
Get back inside the mopar box Andy, you know all the really fast cars have sicK packs and afbs.
and dont forget about X heads or 906heads also we cant use stroker cranks,aftermarket pistons or how about just draw the line at the point that it has to be a correct resto to work,you know all these aftermarket parts are not mopar,most of them are more chevy based so better stop using them   im going for a cowlhood the next time around

same could be said for Six Pack scoops........and I don't think I've ever seen one on anything other than a Mopar, so it's not even good enough for other guys to copy......  
If you can't handle the truth, you're living a lie.......

Ever seen a ProStock scoop on a FACTORY Mopar. You guys MUST hate ProStock hoods also...correct. Good point..Thanks.

Looking for a fiberglass hood for my new Demon. Not sure what would look the best. A nice sixpack hood always looks good but thinking about a cowl hood. I do also like the 72 Demon snorkel hood scoops. What do you guys think?
Also, if anyone has one laying around, let me know. Prefer a bolt on.
Um, hate to get back on topic, but the questions was what do you think LOOKS best?
In my less than humble opinion, anything but a cowl LOOKS the best on an old Mopar. 6-pack, twin, Hemi, etc. Pick one. They all look better than a cowl scoop.
I haven't went 150 in my car, nor do I ever have plans to, so I could care less which scoop is the most aerodynamic at those speeds for my car. All I know is every time I see an 60/70's era Mopar at the track with a tall cowl hood scoop I think the car would LOOK better with something else. However I've yet to walk past a 9 second Dart with Hemi scoop and think "Wow, he'd be faster and more stable with a cowl scoop. He's really dumb for running that".
Boxy cars like Darts/Road Runners = Hemi scoop
More rounded shapes like Dusters, E-bodies = 6 pack scoop

I`ve only been 134mph but have seen guys in the 8`s w/a 6-pack scoop so who knows. Of course a cowl is more aero that`s a no brainer however it looks out of place on a mopar........enuff said.

I think every body should keep this in mind that this is a general conversation and each person has their view on the subject , no one is hacking on a individual person , it's just their opinion. There is no doubt that a Hemi scoop grabs air as does the 6 pac but at a certain speed they will become a hinderance, The air velocity will try and sometimes succeed to rip it off. Ask me how I know that.  
it's ok to butt heads, just don't do it with a butthead

That's a NICE looking Demon. The Demon I had years ago had the stock dual snorkel scoops and I think that is the best looking hood by far..... if you can find a good fiberglass replica.
Since it's a street car, my second choice would be a cowl. If you get caught in the rain, etc., your engine compartment isn't "collecting" debris like a forward scoop would.

very true, my glasshood is a very nice and stable one but with the sicpack scoop there is massive lift forces at high speed for sure,however on a 68chevelle i used to own with a L88 scoop there was clearly lots of lift forces also however this hood was nowhere near as wellmade as the one on my duster so its kind of hard to give a fair comparison one advantage with the cowlstyle is that its alot easier to tie the hood down to the car where the most lift is with a cowlhood compared to a forward facing scoop..
