AJ is a member here, been here for quite a while. That hood was on the car when he bought it. Here's a link for you, if you really like it and are considering it: http://www.afterthoughtsauto.com/picof19ulzho.html .

cowl induction is just a hood with a rise and opening at the base of the windshield if you watch any shows that show wind tunnels you can see the smoke turn at that point

Oh, Thats cool.

I went to aviation school so I'm not really a car guy, but what you saying is this "Cowl Intake" opens a path for air to escape from under the car and uses that airflow for intake?

Seems a bit silly and extreem, but it would catch much less road debris than a ram air intake I guess. Nope, the more I read about this I have to agree that Ram air, and probably Cowl Intake too is more a cosmetic than performance enhancement.

One thing I notice about my car's 3.8 V-6 is that it produces allot of torque between 3500 and 4500 RPM, but it's takeing to long to get there. I think a 10 to 20 horse power boost would dramicaly reduce the time it takes to reach this performance.

1st gear is short as hell. mabey 3 secounds from 0 to 35 and then that shift to secound and it's a long 20 secounds or so to reach 55mph were I'm at max torque. Shifting to third at max torque is another long wait for RPMs to build up before I can go to 4th, and that 5th gear aint much help because I have no more power after that.

Personally, I am not tooled at this point to mount and paint a hood for ram air, cowl air, what ever. But this car is telling me, "I need more air". I can feel it when I drive it, it's sucking to hard. Some how If I can open it up I know I can get it to smoke tires in all gears.

To be Honest, all I want is that kick in the butt feeling one gets driving a hot car with power at your disposal. I think this 3.8 V-6 has awesome potential.

I think my plan should be to keep the car looking as stock as possible and simply unleash the horese in it.

I think I'll go old school. re-do the exaust with two strait ports out the rear with a couple of cherry bombs, and install a high pro header port and polished. Mabey 30 horses if I do all that. What do you think?

Cowl Induction does work. It's not an intake in the sense of something like the K&N FIPK. It's just a hood with a basic opening in the back. Here's a pic:


Now, when driving, the air that travels over the top of your hood, and is sucked back down into the engine compartment through the back of the hood. It's a very good method, but if you want to get some more air into the car, just get something along these lines to help your car get air: http://www.ftpp.net/V6Induction.html . Check out this page, has some induction options for your car, and an idea of what they will cost.

Exhaust is the other good place to start with, too. A good exhaust set-up, some headers, that'll help for more HP. some headers: http://www.ftpp.net/V6/Exhaust/v6_headers.htm

Good exhaust? Buy my SLP loudmouth I loved it and feel like crying getting rid of it. http://www.projectcamaro.com/forum/s...ead.php?t=3581

no, no cherry bombs. don't make a CAMARO sound close to a honda.

Nice car If you ever think about getting an SC, let me know. I put one on my 99 Firebird V6 about two weeks ago. Congrads on your Camaro! Jessica

camaro94

you don't know what you are talking about. It doesn't sound anywhere close to a honda. Not if you do it right. Glass packs are fine.

Yepp, but loudmouth is better

I've had/have both.
