GoodHood makes pretty nice cowl hoods.. I appreciate the quality for a fiberglass hood.. the gel coat didn't need a lot of work before paint, not that it was perfect, but it was better than most I've seen.
this is a third gen- the second gen hoods are different..
I fabricated an insulated filter box and insulated duct to an insulated air hat.. I don't know what I was thinking, other than having too much time on my hands.. I can tell you this, though- the other morning with ambient air at around 75*, the truck was running at an operating temperature of 179~183*, and the intake air temperature was 60~70* at highway speeds.. I found as big and as unobstructed a filter as I could to fit on it- and it is noticeable in terms of power to the terra- but it's also noticeable at the gas station.. running as low an intake temp as I do plays hell with the fuel trims- it dumps fuel..
I found my hood new on eBay for $300.. I put another $300 in paint on it, and have likely $200 in duct/plumbing on it.. The hood direct from the manufacturer is around $1k.. So, I got off fairly easy for doing it- but I was going to do it regardless..
shop around.. you can find them fairly cheap.. cheap being $250~$400..
