I need to either fix or replace my hood. My 200lb Gorilla thought for all my builds going back 20 years has always been to put a raised Cowl hood on it. (show queens & drag) Are they effective on the track or is venting the hood through forward center vents better for Track use?
I understand that the forward center venting helps prevent hood lift and some turbulence but does a cowl induction hood design actually vent enough hot air? I'm only considering a 2-3 Cowl hood or something like the Shelby GT-H hood. (I don't want anything that will effect visibility.) These hoods would also allow me to use the CJ or Boss intake with a Strut tower bar on my S550.
What I've wanted to do up until this point is get the large TrackSpec center and two side vents to my factory hood.
'16 GT Not a committed race car but maybe eventually.
