sorry cowl hood. I don't like the efects of high speeds on a six pack hood. plus the cowl doesn't look like a smashed bucket. In regards to the hemi hood it costs you 2/10ths to run that parachute on your car. Go cowl and never look back

If someone made a 2" cowl hood I would have bought it, just to provide a little more room and not be so tall...

I like the six pack hood on my 72 dart but i would have to agree that at around 70 it starts worrying me it looks like it wants to go flying off but i do like how it looks standing still but i guess that isnt the best idea for a car i drive everyday

This is what I was waiting for someone to point out. I would figure that, compared to a cowl, a scoop would produce large amounts of drag... |

A while back I would have said Six Pack or Hemi for sure, but after owning a Cowl, its tough to beat the looks and functionalitly of them.

I had a fiberglass hood on my Charger. It didn't have any scoop, when I would get going over 70 or so it ballooned up in the middle high enough for me to see the air cleaner from the drivers seat. It never broke. I solved it be adding two more hood pins across the front and glassing a triangular reinforcement across the back on the inside between the hinges. It was cool to see passengers panic.

I'm a little partial to the 6 pack and the Hemi Dart scoops.  |

I say cowl to. I'm looking to get one now for my 69 but the problem is unless you want to spend over 600.00 you are not going to get a quality one.

6 pack. Most people can find other ways to offset the drag.
