Is a 2" cowl induction hood enough to clear a performer rpm airgab intake on an 87 firebird? I really don't want to use a 4" cause it seems to be a bit overkill.

 

It should be plenty. What hood are you planning on getting?

 

One of those harwood fiberglass hoods from summit. I don't know if I should save the extra $200 and get a lift off, or I'd be better off getting the normal one.

 

Just get a normal one. The lift off's are a pain in the *** and the hood pins look like crap. BTW, I didn't even know harwood made a 2 inch cowl hood. I thought the one in summit was a 3 inch?

 

I thought they only made 4" for firebirds, but I was on summits site a while ago and they have 2 and 4.

 

ah, i thought you had a camaro. My fault. I'm not sure about the birds.

 

I just bought a Harwood, their site says 2", the little booklet that I got with the hood with the same part # says 3", and it measures a little under 3 inches.. I also agree 4" is too big.. This one I think could use a touch more height to it, but eh I think it'll look fine..

 

EDIT: I found the site. Thanks for the info. Got any pics of the hood on your car?

 

Nope not yet, as of today the car has been at the body shop for exactly two weeks, I'm heading there today to decide on a color and it's getting painted.. I hope Ill have it back soon
