It would be nice to have a wider variety of hoods for these cars but I don't think it's gonna happen because of low demand

 

I think this would work

MPD motorsports performance design – Impala Ram Air Hood 2006/07

 

Heres a pic from that site with the hood on the monte

 

Yeah Tadd has that hood on his 7th.

 

Cowl/Cowl induction hoods were originally designed for carbureted cars.
There is no functional use for a cowl hood on fuel injected cars of today.
In fact, they look pretty dumb on any new car...

 

To be honest silver you do have a point they were originally designed for cars that had higher intake manifold and carb set up. the newer designed ones that are functional do help a little on the air flow. Also have as well a different curve to the stereo impalla front end that we have. I had at work some one walk up to my monte by accedent thinking it was his impala. we both had the same collor. He didnt realise he walked to a monte instead of a impala. not just that i dont think he knew he had four doors. compared to our half car length doors. I asked him really you can i help you your trying to get into mine while his was next to mine. i called the cops after he got into his car gave them his tag made a report. he also was on the phone.

 

sorry finger tied im a little tired hard to type sorry. ment to say can i help you? your trying to get into my car

 

Depending on the setup they do/can supply an additional amount of air to the intake.

 

Matt,

A Ram Air type hood may be functional, depending on the setup as you said.

A Cowl Induction hood will serve no purpose because the true meaning of a cowl induction hood is that it takes air from the Cowl area (where the hood meets the windshield).

Just my 2 cents, coming from a '71 Chevelle SS owner with a Cowl Induction Hood

 

Yes true, my bad. I was thinking ram air, not cowl induction. We started talking about that MPD ram air hood and my mind got set on that.
