Welcome to the board, the quickest way to find pics on this site would be to check the readers rides section, and just search.

I found this guys ride just now.

Thor's 1987 Iroc.

And yeah, you should see an improvement in airflow with the hood.

I have no idea, hehe, Its not my car, but, by looking at it and comparing it to a 2" cowl, they look pretty much the same. So I would have to guess a 1-2" gain in clearence... someone who owns a Camaro with an SS hood could answer that better though
