SS hood is sweet, clean, and bad @$$.... 4" hood is too big, imho it looks crappy on thirdgens and belongs on boxes like monte carlos...... the best size cowl is the one chuck everly had on his old RS i think it was 2.75" SOMEONE POST A PIC!!

Car: 1983 Z28
Engine: 6.6L 406
Transmission: T-56
why are you buying a hood for a car you are selling?
------------------
I WOULD RATHER PUSH A CAMARO THAN DRIVE AN IMPORT
1983Z28 350w/ edelbrock performer RPM power package , dynomax shorty headers, 700R-4 with shift kit, 750cfm carb, edelbrock 3" exhaust system, 16" IROC rims and ASCD SS hood.
future mods:
completely done over suspension, black paint with flames,
T-56 almost ready to go in, TPI swap coming up
Wifes new car:
95Z28, AT, leather, T-tops bone stock for now.
future mods:
header to tailpipe replacement and a cold air intake. Then I am just going to leave it alone

Is your car a original 5.7 ttop car, new engine, C&C or other aftermarket ttop car? Just curious. And my vote is for the SS.

RODS92Z I wouldn't replace the hood. If I ever get rid of my T/A a 92Z is what I want because they look soooo smooth. Especially an Anniversary Edition I'd keep it as stock as possible but that's just me.

I have the same dilemma about the hood for my 91 RS, there is a 91-92 Z28 around town that has a 4" cowl, and it looks badass, but both the stock and the SS hood look great also. Personally I prefer the SS hood.

I think the 4" cowl is WAY too big. It just doesn't look right. Chuck's cowl was awesome. If I were you, I'f put the SS hood on, I like that one a lot.

Personally I like the 4" cowl hood. I think it depends on the rake of the car. It does look too big on a car that is pretty much level. However, if the car is up slightly in the rear I think it looks fine. I'm probably biased since I have a 4" Glasstek cowl on my car.

Car: 1986 IROC-Z
Seems like a lot of people like the SS hood, and that gets my vote as well. Not only does it make your car look threatening , you can make it functional as both a ram air hood and cowl induction (I believe). The 4" cowl hoods just seem too big on our cars; it tends to break the lines of the body too much.
Just my two cents.

JMO, but if it is in the cards to consider the old 69 Z cowl ... what was it 2" or something the one that had 302 on the side, now that was the best looking cowl I have every seen.
But if it a choice of 4" or SS and(stock has to go) I would go SS.
