good luck driving a 6inch cowl on the street.

my 4 inch cowl is pretty difficult to see out of to make right hand turns and i sit up pretty high in the car too. i hope you're running 9s to put a 6inch cowl on a car that probably doesn't need it.

his profile says 12 to 1 383 so i'd say he's putting out decent power.

You don't have to be running 9s to have a 6 in. cowl. I put one on mine because I needed the clearance. My 383 has a team g 2" plenum and a 2" inch spacer with a holley 750. To top that off with a 5" K&N air cleaner I needed a little over a 4" cowl and the next step up was the 6". I dont have the car up here but I will try to snap some pics on my way down to the craftsman nats next week.

That looks horrible!

Even on a race only car, I would hate to end up in the left lane at the track with a hood like that!

well, i'm sure he's a pro-tree only cat, the second he sees yellow flash, he's gone. no need to see if he got the green or red till he sees his win light.

That's a good looking one too....it follows the windshield nicely. I hate it when they don't even come close to matching the angle of the windshield.....
