That better, lol?

Who'd of thought a 6 1/2" cowl would look small on a Mopar? I've got one on my car because I like it and it's what the rules say. I am planning to block off the rear of the cowl and direct air in from behind the bumper, kind of like what ari440 posted of that Camaro on the first page. Lane Lambert has done the same thing on his N/A Dart and has seen positve results.

No problem Billy, just wanted you to know it is being changed. My carbs are several inches above the fender line so I need something that fits and nothing stock even comes close. Please read what Leon441 said about the performance advantage/disadvantage at the other end of the track vs dyno results. Tony also said he went through hell and back getting that hood (don't want to smear the company who made it on here). Aesthetically speaking, I don't think it looks as good on this body style as it did on my dart. As you know it doesn't have inner fender wells and it has a lexan windshield so I can't compete in any of those events that would require a rear facing hood scoop. I did consider cutting it open and just let the air cleaners come through the cowl but once again the performance would be negatively affected. Do you happen to have any pics of the car with the previous hood prior to the cowl he put on? Was it a stock hood? Here's a pic of Darren's car with the exact same hood/scoop I'm going to put on. I think it fits the lines of the car aesthetically much better, I firmly believe I will have a performance gain (which trumps everything else to me), and I don't have to worry about meeting NMCA/track requirements restrictions because I have alot of other things that eliminate me from that class anyway. But when I had my dart I must say I did enjoy pissing off the purists with my 4" cowl hood just to be different. I need to get some pics of the new heart transplant.

I have an 8" cowl and also tried a new style pro stock scoop. With the pro stock scoop it was hard to see around and just didn't look right. I have the cowl seeled to the windshield and have a pro stock truck type induciton from the grill. 8"x18" opening sealed to the cowl.

With the cowl I can see the upper fenders and about knee height anywhere in front of the car.

The car MPH's really good. On motor I run 8.85's @ 161 MPH and with 150 NOS running 7.70's @ 174 MPH. Has a real stout Nitrous cam and real tight Nitrous converter...

personaly i have a sixpack scoop on my duster but i had a L88 scoop on my 68chevelle i used to own and you just have to take a drive when it rains to understand how well they work if they are anywhere near correctly placed on the hood...
i dont care for this no chevyparts on my mopar, tell everyone who uses chevy rockers on there magnumheads...
or just tell any racecar driver that his car is wrong because its not all mopar since half the car is put togheter out of aftermarketparts anyway...
and just take those sixpacks of the 340´s and 440´s since they could be found on GM cars before they where used on mopars...

Ari440 you are going to make me buy a Duster (and piss off my wife)
