ok so i had a 91 Z28 hood on my 90 RS camaro, then i bought a 2" goodmark steel cowl for very very cheap, sanded and priemred it and put it on last nite, now idk what i like better, any opinions would b great, whichever i dont use im storing or selling thanks alot

goodmark cowl



91 Z28 hood



stock RS




85-90 iroc hood






its pretty much between the cowl and the 91-92 Z28 hood but i threw up the other hoods iv had/have just to compare, what yall think? z28 hood or cowl?

 

I like the look of a simple cowl over a stock hood, but the daytona or sunaco hoods I like the best

 

\
c i really dont liek daytona or sunaco hoods, looks lik something hollywood would use if they wer tryna turn a camaro into a space ship no offence to daytona hood owners, sum look nice tho


but its pretty much between the cowl and the 91 Z28 hood

ok so far one yes for the cowl, any one else lol

 

go with cowl

 

Go with the cowl. I really like my Goodmark 2in cowl hood, especially if you have TBI. Pop the hood and there sits 14x3 open element with x-stream filter top. The cowl on the Goodmark is some what restrictive but still provides enough air especially with the x-stream filter almost sealing the cowl by siting in the cowl hole/opening and sucking "cool/cold" air, you can hear it. Sounds bad a--. I use these photos allot but I'm going to post them again.

 

My thoughts are use the cowl hood, and put the black rims back on it, will look sick, the other hood imo does not work well unless you get aftermarket flashier wheels, that hood just makes it look too modern, and without modern looking wheels wouldn't do it for me.
It doesn't look bad, I just think the cowl looks better especially with either of those sets of rims.

 

the black cragar 342s stupidly i sold em, tryna get another set, so looks lik the cowl is staying but yall gona laugh, under that 2" cowl i got a 3.1, sucks, i traded my 85 z28 to get THIS one back, i had it first, but i needed the MPGs and its in alot better condition so ill work with teh 3.1 for now, plans are a built 3.4

 

I like the '91 Z28 hood.

 

cowl

 

I agree with the others on the cowl hood. I plan on getting myself a cowl hood as well down the road.

 

1991 Hood looks so better then the IROC hood and cowl hood IMO.

 

haha, see what i mean, everyoen has their own opinion and i like both, which is why im teetering between the 2! i cant decide lol, the cowl is on and i like it, but then again the 91 z28 hood looked sexy too

 

so far its 6-3 cowl winning by 3 lol, if wer voting

 

cowl all the way
7-3
hehheeh

 

i have 6" cowl on my car i like them

 

cowl

 

lmao 9-3 i think cowl won haha, and i like it to, i had a 4" in on my 85 but i couldnt see over the damn thing to drive it hahah

 

i like the louvered z hoods thats what i have on mine

 

i like the goodmark cowl. so much i want to get rid of my 4" harwood cowl that came with my car.

 

Stick with the 91 hood looks much better. I think it matchs with lines and flow of the body better than the others.

 

cowl still wining 11-4, i agree with ^ it flows really good but i think with the cowl painted it will look great, posibly racing stripes?

im tryna imagine the 91 z hood color match painted to the camaro, i just cant c it looking right in that blue yet it looks good in the black

 

Blue1990camaro,
I looked at the tech. section of this site and it says you have TBI. Is this correct?

 

3.1 multiport, im got rid of my 85 tpi 305 z28, the blue camaro i have is a 1990 Camaro RS 3.1 multi port T Tops fully loaded every option i think,

idea is a built 3.4, gona try n grab another one for a v8 build im gna keep this one a 6, i like different ya kno?

 

I like the cowl. Instead of a built 3.4, why not go with a built 3.8 with a turbo? That would definately back up the performance end for having the look. Oh yeah, go with the rally stripes too, that would look good.

 

only reason for a 3.4 is budget build, 3.4 goes right in, dont even need a diff ecm till i start working it and stuff, itl run off a 3.1 computer and harness I THINK, i would love a 3.8 n turbo, its a 60* v6 also right? ik teh 4.3 is the same as a sbc... same layout as a 350 with 2 cyls hacked off lol

 

Still, couldn't be too hard. Go find some motor mounts for a 305 to put in and then find a 3.8 to rebuild and there ya go. Junkyard should be cheap for both. I had a 3.8L in my cutlass back in HS...it's gone now. Have a cutlass with a 305/7 sittin back home but nothing in work for it yet. But if I was to go v6, I would go 3.8 just cuz its same engine as the grand nationals and you could get same parts/results. Just thoughts.

 

i like that idea, is the 3.8 a 60* v6?

 

i think you are as bad as me for making your mind cowl gets my vote it gives extra room .i changed from small to big block already had cowl it made one less worry

 

I say cowl hood and send me the Z28 hood!!!!!!

 

cowl !!!!!!!!

 

Stock RS hood or Z28 hood. I like the original hoods on these cars the best. All of the other ones look stupid.

 

growing to love the cowl, gets alot more compliments and looks n smiles now with it

THE 91 Z28 HOOD IS FOR SALE, WHOLE OR JUST THE BLISTERS, unfortunatly the fiance said cash only and we all kno wifeys are boss, so cash only pickup or delivery will separate hood n blisters but rather not, anyone interested ket me kno

 

I don't know if it's a 60* v6 or not but like I said, find some mounts or do some research and swap it in. Better yet, find a wrecked grand national! HA!

 

Love my goodmark 2" cowl hood.

definately noticed a nice gain in throttle response too. cold(er) air, baby!

 

Cowl fo sho!

 

Cowl. Same hood I have

 

I like the blisters myself... How much you want for the blisters?

I say go with a 3.8 supercharged. Can be sourced easily from a late 90's bonneville or buick regal, etc.

 

Oh, Blue1990camaro; My 90 Rs started life as a v-6 and is the same color!

 

now just cut the back of the opening up like this and you'll really get that air moving.

 

lmao its a multiport 3.1 soon to be 3.4 lmao cowls just for cooler under hood temps i suck air from the pass side fender but thats gna change soon as well, havnt decided what i wana do intake wise


and make offers on the hood and or blisters, just pm if anyone interested

 

fine...it looks better IMO either way..haha.

 

2.8, 3.1 and 3.4 are 60* and the 3.8 and 4.3 are 90*

 

2.8, 3.1, 3.4 are 60* while the 3.8 and 4.3 are 90*

 

if teh 3.8 is teh v8 bellhousing then 3.8 is a no go, sticking to the 3.4 plan

 

If you decide to sell the Z28 hood, let me know, I've been looking for one!

 

I like the 91-92 z28 hood or the stock RS hood

 

3 inch fiberglass cowl hood :
