Why are there cowl vents at the base of the wind shield ? if the air passes that far above them when you turn the "vent on no air would flow through it.

 

I cant get the smiley thingys to work.

 

When the air hits the windshield, a portion of the air flows down towards the cowl.

 

exactly hence the cowl induction.

 

Cowl induction and a hood scoop are different things. Cowl induction works ...... it draws from that reversal/neutral air at the bottom of the windshield.

That 'Ram Air/Induction' system that is 3" from the level of the hood ...... looks/sounds nice. Does it work? Ask any racer ....

 

mknittle ....... dyno your truck, go home and cut the hole in your hood, add a hood scoop (remember: 3 scoops are better than 1), return for another dyno run ........ and let us all know about your hp/tq gains. I'll sell you an un-molested hood if the looks/dyno runs don't turn out the way that you thought they would ........

Don't forget to set-up the fans at the dyno ...... to simulate the ultra high speed that you'll achieve on the strip ......

 

Actually I am going the other way. I am planning on using a bird bath hood on mine. Maybe the lower hood will be more aerodynamic.

 

Mark ...... you did find the 'smiley faces' ...... fun aren't they!

 

I like them And have used them in the past. But for some unknown reason they quit working a couple weeks ago. I figured out a way around the problem but It takes a couple extra steps.
