How fast do plan on going?

---

Who knows...motor should make around 850hp without NOS ( motor takes 200-250 NOS shot if needed )With NOS little over 1000 hp
I really dont know how much car is going to weight but hopefully not too much. All front is plastic, no interior (only aluminium dash and racing seat), all heavy stuff inside doors is cutted out, going to change OEM floor material also to aluminium
Hopefully and probably this car should hit some low 9 seconds

I guess I'm a purist, no matter how many Mopar racers flock to them, I just can't stand the cowl style hoods on Mopars, everytime I see one I think "Chevy", and on most cars I think they dominate rather than enhance the cars appearance, especially the tall/monster versions.

Personally I'd use a Six Pack scoop, maybe add an inch or two in hieght if you feel you need it and call it a day.

I agree..cowl hoods have no place on a Mopar..

I'm also one of the guys that think a cowl has no place on a mopar. That said, it's your car, do as YOU want.


Mine is a galss buldge hood W/ an aero scoop. I had them take 2 inches off the bottom of the scoop so it flowed with the lines of the hood rather than sittng way to high in the air.

If you want I have pics from a few different angles.

For a cowl hood to work, the rear of the cowl scoop needs to be close to the windshield. I only have enough room to get my fingers b/t my windshield and the back of the cowl scoop. If it doesn't get close to the windshield, it won't pull any air in.

I switched from a six pack hood to the cowl hood and saw no change in ET or MPH. Both were sealed to the carburetor.

The problem I had with the 6 pack scoop was that above 120 mph the hood tried to lift off the car REAL bad. CHIP

Guys, sorry but I dont understand...do it pulls air in back of scoop then? So I make plate what seals cowl hood inside and let open only that hole what is "beside" windshield?
I thoughted that cowl hood is to let hot air out..that cold air enters through grille and leaves through cowl hood

---

No... there is a negative air pressure at the windshield
(more as you get lower to the base), that negative
supplies the air to the carb, its better to seal
the carb to the scoop (keeps the hot air out of the carb).
On a front facing scoop you need to get the inlet
up into the air flow... as a rule of thumb... take
a string and tape it to the front edge of the hood...
tape the other end to the roof line... your scoop
opening should be ABOVE that string

That's it all these years we had the car jetted wrong.Give me a break.At some speed the hood was catching more air than it could releave.

---

You tell that to a pro stock owner, maybe he'll go faster with the scoop taped.

---

Many of the P/S cars change their scoops for different
air conditions (larger or smaller openings)

Actually Joe Dirte's parents said that last one LOL I love that movie.

I don't really like cowl hoods either because it screams Chebby, but modified draggin Mopars look pretty cool no matter what's on them. I seen a burnt orange Duster on here that was low to the ground with some fatties in the back and a black cowl hood and it looked sick. For my build I will throw a six pack hood on my Duster cuz it's more of a stock look and it ain't a Nova (like everybody that walks up to it thinks LOL)!!!

Dang someone beat me to it lol and it seems people are getting a little touchy on this subject!!
Bottom line, as a few others have said, is that it's your car, your money, and your taste, and not everybody has the same taste; do what makes you look at your car and think "Man that car is sexy I am glad I put that on" LOL
