As I continue to attempt to get my ET down as low as possible, I am becoming more and more serious about weight savings. I am currently running a Cervinis Type IV Ram Air hood. I like the hood, but it is heavy and therefore not ideal for drag racing.
A friend of mine has been encorouging me to get a Cowl hood, which I have been resisting because I love the look/style of the KR and SuperSnake hoods. Over the last 2 days, I have spoken with Bruce at Full-Tilt Boogie Racing and Van at Revan Racing. A light-weight carbon fiber hood, or a Cowl hood has been the subject of discussion.
I have been looking at the Cervini and Trufiber websites for quite some time about options. Although the Ram Air hoods certainly look great, the Cowl hood offers the most clearance for a large supercharger, and most importantly, appears to offer good weight savings versus stock (and certainly compared to my current aftermarket Cervinis hood).
I have searched the forum, but I have not been able to find any first-hand confirmation of the weight of the Cowl hood options. Does anyone know the precise weight of the following Cowl hoods:
1) Cervini 2.5" Cowl (fiberglass)?
2) Trufiber 3" Cowl (fiberglass - their website reflects 40 lbs.)?
3) Trufiber 3" Cowl (carbon fiber - their website reflects 30 lbs.)?
Thanks
