Cowl hoods only work when they have blue neons in them. ---

I had a reverse cowl on my Saturn and it worked GREAT! The engine was way way cooler, the temp gauge was always on C unless I was racing. Fuel mileage kinda sucked (the saturn board said something about closed loop, or was it open loop? anyway, I didn’t care) but it was worth it to keep everything cold! ![http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3582/3299794664_36604c90c8.jpg](http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3582/3299794664_36604c90c8.jpg) ---

> [@Jon](#): > > The point of them is to suck cold air instead of air from under the hood,not to keep the engine cool.Most people have one for show,not truly effective unless you have the foam tray that sits on the carb and is flush with the hood.Buy the whole cowl hood,everyone seems to butcher the hood when they attempt to install one. The way that a cowl hood works is to create a low pressure zone just beyond the cowl. This increases the amount of air that flows over the top of the engine… coincidentally where your air intake is on a carbureted V8. Since the flux has increased across the engine, the temperature delta decreases and the air entering the engine is cooler. It’s a common misconception (as the above post indicates) that a cowl hood causes the engine to draw air from the rear of the cowl. This is only true when the vehicle is at rest. ---

Oh no, I am investigating if this is a user just playing dumb as a troll, or if this person is for realz. THERE IS NOT WAY THAT I WOULD EVER BELIEVE THAT THIS IS NOT A SCAM. I mean really?
