Is there any performance gains compared to an open air element with a functioning cowl induction hood ? Just curious as I have been bouncing between the two options, and this looks really nice
Well a cold air intake is isolated for the most part from the rest of the engine bay thus sucking in cold dense air through the grille where as in a open element with cowl induction is open to the engine bay sucking in warmer air getting not as good of a combustion.

Chris you souind like a mad scientist. I've been wanting to go to the single stud open element kit, it won't hurt anything will it? (Is what I just gathered from what you said) and doesn't make a difference really on my TBI 350?
Instead of trying to cool the air for a denser charge, why not use the old drag race trick of using a 'cool can' to cool the fuel itself? The cooled fuel would be more dense than it would be at the ambient air temp, therefore more power.
