supercar cowl induction tid bit..

[black69]

I dont know how many know this, but I guess chevy really was ahead of its time compared to ford and chrysler in 69-70 in atleast one area. In an old book, I read yesterday that duntov said cowl induction basically took 7 seconds off the 0-140mph speed when comparing a 67 L88 vette to a 68. To me that is a ton of time difference on one particular supercar type! I imagine some is related to wind resistence reduction (when compared to a stinger) and the rest is mostly the pressurized air (resulting in more horsepower).

So maybe those certain 69 camaros and 70 chevelles (with cowl induction) really had an edge over the mopars and fords on the open road races (once you got over 100).

I tip my hat in the chevy direction....for today..
