  • Which hood?

    hi everyone, i need some opinions on 3 hoods i'm looking at: #1 Big Block ram air
    #2 Cowl induction
    #3 WS6 ram air
    I just don't want to make the wrong decision and get something that looks stupid so please let me know what you think about the 3 hoods. :D thanks so much!

      #2 or #3. I'm partial to cowl hoods but I've always loved the WS6 Ram Air hoods

        does cowl induction have the same effect as ram air?

          There is no real effect from "ram-air" unless you're going .5 mach. But cowl induction actually does show a PSI increase in intake pressure, but this was on the older cars that had flat windshields too.

            Cowl hoods allow more air to be under the hood as well as more space for bolt ons :D

                      Yet another thing I'd have to see in person to decide. Those pictures make a 93-97 T/A out to be a hidious monster but I know better than that. From the pictures I'd say the WS-6. What front end do you have? firebird or Trans AM bumper? Pics of your car would help decide what hood for your car vs what hood we like better overall

                        #3 is the only choice to me. The other hoods to me are horrid.
