Fiberglass hood mods... crazy?
Take a look at my setup and tell me how a cowl induction hood is going to help me.
It won't let a significant amount of air out of the engine compartment because it is configured to pick up air from the base of the windshield; a high pressure area. It would probably end up putting more air INTO the underhood area than it would evacuating it.
It won't introduce cold air into the supercharger air intake system because that inlet is at the opposite end of the engine compartment.
Cowl indiction hoods work well for normally-aspirated cars when you seal the carb to the inlet area, so they can breathe cold air and benefit from the high pressure area where the air comes from (windshield base), but none of that applies to my car; apples and oranges.
