Cowl size 4 or 6?

I am running weiand tunnel ram with 2 holley 1850's and wanted to buy a harwood cowl hood...i was wondering what size cowl...4 or 6 inch?...I have a feeling that it is going to be a 6" and am worried how much more visability i will loose...any pics would be great...my main concerns are how much it will come up the windsheild and visability...

the main reason for the new hood is so that i can be caught in the rain w/o worry and the stock hood is pretty well rusted from the underneath...

thanks chas

I have the 2.5 inch goodmark and i couldn't imagine having anything bigger. def go with only as much as you need.

would hate to have to have a booster seat just to be able to drive the thing! lol

I agree, I have a 4" on mine and it does take quite a bit of visibility out. I couldn't imagine having a 6". I'm sure it would take away almost all visibility out to the left
