The two pics that Tim posted for me are very old. It hasnt even been lowered yet and i still have the RS tail lights in those two pics, and i still have a front yard . I will try to take some better angles of the hood, but my USB port isnt functioning right now and i cant get pics off of my camera.

im pretty sure it is the only size available. It isnt far off from the 2.5 your looking for. It is actually 2.25

 

The Daytona Twin Turbo only comes in one size but 2 different models. 1 for Camaros and ! for Birds. It is an attention getter. Here's mine in Black.

------------------
86 Camaro Black SS Coupe, T Tops, ASCD Daytona Twin Turbo hood, Flowmaster, Custom Black Paint, Dunlop Road Kings S/R tires, Wheel Country Directional Chrome Wheels,new charcoal & gray interior including seats and door panels, leather wrapped steering wheel, shifter and emergency brake, new carpet and headliner, complete front end suspension rebuild, new Valve seals, and more mods to come

here is my 4in cowl...pic in sig

------------------
Here is my beautiful car

 

There is no comparison to a nice Cowl induction hood. An SS hood comes in a close 2nd, but they just get worse from there. Just my opinion...don't anyone get mad!!

yeah, i'll take some pics of mine, i made it from the hardwood cowl induction scoop. Looks just like the one piece one. Kinda in the tradition of the old Z-28's.

Hey chevyKen, where did u get your ss hood from, i dont know why but it looks a little bit higher than other ss hoods and i really like that hood, also, how much was it? thanks

 

Hey 1stgenracer, here's the link to ASCD for the SS hood http://www.americansportscar.com/pro...eneration3.htm Ya know, that photo of the car with the hood in their online catalog looks suspiciously like your avatar.

 

ChevyKen wins my vote, Thats a bad *** hood man!

 

Yep, it kinda doe slook like it i just had that pic sent to me from a friend so i put it on my avatar.

 

Heres a shot of my daytona hood!!

 

Heres a shot of the car w/ the hood on it that chevy ken has on his car now. I love this car too DEATH!! RIP 90Z28SS :hail: :hail:

 

1stgenracer, it's fate!...Buy the SS hood!

 

BTW 85maroz28, the pic of 90Z28SS is what sold me on the hood as my RS is also Arctic White. I have seen no better. go on with your bad hood self ChevyKen!

 

HEY!!! CHECK IT OUT ChevyKen! You win my 200th post contest!!!

 

NO!! What a minute the winner may be 1stgen... ok you guys can split the glory and receive equal prizes...so there!

 

ive always liked the outlaw z28 4.75 inch hood or whatever they call it the best,.Just my opinion.This is a picture of one i beleive it is mean yellow z's car,man i love this car :hail: :hail:

 

does the ss hood actualy allow air to enter the engine area or is it blocked off.

 

Yes, When you order an SS hood they'll want to know whether it's a TPI or carb/TBI.

 

where do u order it for thunderracing.com and i have tbi so it would be a like ram air kinda to my filter on the tbi

 

Stock hoods 0wn j0o.

 

I have the 4" Cowl from Harwood. I think it looks good, but the quality sucks. I spent hours adjusting it, and when I had the body restored and painted, I had them try to adjust it. The front is cut wrong, from the center to drivers side its cut too high and from the center to passanger side its just cut down. You can kinda tell it from this picture. The sides are also off a bit.

 

I see what you mean traxxton, the front of it doesn't roll off as much as it should. Nevertheless!, it still looks great and most untrained eyes on the street (the women you're after) will never know.:rockon:

 

Sorry I missed your post 1989camarorsrs. On the ram effect you have asked a question I would also like to know as I would like to buy one myself but need to consider a future motor change. The best way to find out is to call them, I just haven't had the time lately but if you do, how about postin' here so we'll all know.

 

just incase here's a side view of the cowl hood. this is my hood, but honestly i like the larger cowl's better but the po-po's don't around here. hope this helps.

 

heres mine

 

Here's my Harwood 3 inch cowl hood that i obviously haven't painted yet. Mine fits good. Traxxxton you need to trim off that front edge in order for it to lay down flush against the front end. Also you have to trim the sides where the rubber bumpers are. That should make it fit better.
