lol holy thread jack, i dont really see how this has anything to do with the OP's original statement i think you should start your own thread in the appropiate section and maybe re-word your question because i really do not understand what your even asking.

Mike, its cool. I dont mind man. I think he means which hood is better for mudding or should he stick with a standard cold air intake.

mech cb-personaly i would just go with whatever hood looks best to you as stated before there will be very little if any performance gains, also IMO i think it would be best to stick with a steel hood.

blazen99-i honestly dont see how a hood cowl or otherwise would make a difference while mudding.

Yea, I think I'm just gonna do the cowl induction. It will help my hwy mpg while still lookin clean. I just saw RAM AIR and I was like wait a minute!

i really like the cowl hood on blazers there just a nice simple mod that looks clean and helps your blazer stand out from the crowd.

Exactly-and its not as common, so it works for me! I still have a few other things I'm workin on as well. I just wanna get it so it doesnt look like every other blazer on the road while at the same time not have any non-functional aftermarket parts.

you have clearly never seen the Simpsons... everyone knows that all you need is a pickaxe to get the speed holes you seek.

As for blazen_99 i think power with out much forward motion is torque.... i am not at all savy with this sort of thing, but i believe torque is what you want for better "mudding". That and bigger tires
