Considering going to a Cowl Hood

[mustang loco]

I was lucky enough to put my hands on a oem KR hood,it weighs bout' 20lbs(very light)..don't know if these are still available though but can always give it a try....just a thought!!

Unfortunately, the size of my supercharger makes the KR hood impractical for me mustang loco. Regardless, I appreciate the post. As far as the hoods being offered by Dan, I have spoken with him via email about those hoods. Those are imitation (clones) of the original KR hoods.

Pricepoint

My options are limited somewhat by the size of my blower. If they mass-manufacturer lighter hoods, it would help cut down on cost

Cause of the price they woul have to sell it at..... That's y they don't make one...

The IAT2 went down with the cowl induction hood so yes it made a difference and a plus was that I no longer have hood shake I high speed like I did with the stocker.

In reference to aerodynamics..... I'm not sure but I believe the smooth transition and lift in the helps the turbulence going over your windshield.

On the negative side... The IAT2 went up at idle but as soon as I start rolling it drops almost immediately.

hey robert you from tx if so what part? sorry not trying to hi jack the thread...
