Keep the stock hood or go with the SS. If you get a cowl, you better be in the 9s or faster. Get the cam now. I am wondering what ever happend to Johnny's Camaro too, since I never saw anything about it after he got a nice shiny set of heads in a box. :1

It doesn't really matter because it is your car after all.

Please explain to me how the SS hood on the LS1 Camaro is functional.

Notice a slight difference dipshit.

Please stop arguing about ---- you dont know. Find a picture of the underside of a LS1 SS hood, and shut the ---- up. thank you

Now that I've proven you wrong you'll probably attempt to argue the functionability of the hood, but i never said anythign about that, i just said that it is functional, who knows how much. Maybe 1 hp, but still functional nonetheless.

Me=right
you=wrong

Thanks you for clearing that up. All I wanted was an explanation. Pictures show the piece of the puzzle that I was missing.

It still doesn't make the cowl hood look any better on a 4th gen.

And, no I won't argue the true functionality of the SS hood. I can admit when I am wrong.

Ill probably put the 9 inch in first, the rear end is aticking timebomb. But i need tires first, so im working on making the car look and sit the way i want, then i'll focus on power again. It breaks loose 2nd gear NA right now. Nitrous would = death. I bet it would spin 4th on the freeway rolling at 80.

Those Camaros have the little ten bolt in them?Is there not a cheaper option then a full rear end swap?

Full car swap to something with a D pushing 10 lbs under the hood.

Nope, :'(. 9 inch is the cheapest route, i could buy a moser housing and put a ford 3rd member in, would be a little cheaper, but still around 2k.

I think it looks 100x better with the stock hood.

Re: Camaro Cowl hood poll
 
im sure the stock hood looks suffient,save the money for the new hood and get the other mods then the "mean" look will be backed up. my 2 cents :y

yes trade it in for a less reliable slower car, that comes with the implication that you have sex with men.

I'd rather walk around with a pegleg with a broken kickstand on it. Rather then drive a camaro and let alone with cowl hood on it. Do they need like a proof of a mullet before they sell you the hood to see if your inbred enough? I think you need to go back to your roots.

I could go Fi, it would be nice, but I'd still have to address the issue of the weak stock rear end that breaks at stock power levels, so after putting a kit together for 3k, i need another 3k for the rear end. And yes SS do come with WAYYY nicer rims, but in truth theyre not the ones i want, 17x9.5 simply isnt wide enough, i need 17x11 so i can sit on the widest possible tires. I doubt many of the people posting have driven a v8 with such an insane torque spike that it wants to rip holes in the ground and drive you into a wall, its pretty damn scary. Im tired of looking at a stock camaro body that has heat under the hood, i'd rather the body and stance reflect the fact that it does make a very good amount of power.
