I was reading that I can add HP by adding Cowl Induction to my car. But how does Cowl Induction work, and what do I need to do?
We do in NZ, but the colonies like Aussie, maybe not lolOK Steve, guess they don't have an info source like Hotrod Magazine down in Australia.
Well even the slightest pressure, even if only measured in HG water...(not mercury) over comes any need for the carb to 'drag' air in, AND over come pressure drop (HG water column) thru the air filter....Open your kick panels vents.. That's how much pressure there is at the cowl. Hardly enough to consider it as "boost".

THEN add the diffrence between cold air and engine bay air thats cooled the radiator...
On there own each makes a difference....combined a significant diference.... enough difference for more modern car manufactors spend huge money on R&D, and impliment very similar systems in a market that is very competive.
Huge fan too, and also thought it would be nicer with a vac opening mechanism..I am a fan of the ZL2 hood, but I think the functional Chevelle cowl induction hood is nicer with the vacuum actuated outer door and the electric actuated inner door. I always loved watching the outer door open when you got into the pedal.
I have to agree...sort of....back side engine bay yepFred, I never get tired of looking at your car, it's absolutely beautiful
performance? hell they damn near all, including little shopping baskets do it now.Have you ever seen awithout engine air directed to it from outside the engine bay? That's why turbo's are inter-cooled. Well, that and overcoming compression heatlate model performance car
