Ed, That was on the 255 hp, 441 head model.
We're talking about the 350 /300.
Never a question on the hoods for them. The Indy Pace Car was a 350 / 300 base, with cowl hood.

Flat hood and cowl are rated the same, why would hp increase effect one and not the other ?.Rick

The 350/300 never came with a "flat" hood. This combination was only available in the SS and the SS came with either the simulated "Stacks" on the hood or the cowl hood.

because they seem separated in the guide, that would be the only reason they are.

My point is if it made no difference prior to the hp increase ,why should hood choice make a difference now. Rick.
