This is the main reason I bought a Cowl Induction hood. Functionality wise they work & are the 'easier' option (plus, I shopped wisely & got one for a very decent price).
But.... Until it's on the car, I'll maintain the search.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
