?? Cowl induction hood

I am wondering what a cowl induction hood does for performance. Would it make any difference on a stock fuel injected motor? I like the looks of them. Just not sure what they actually do.

A cowl hood is supposed to let heat out of the engine bay at lowwer speeds and cause a low pressure at high speeds that sucks air into the cowl. It should work in theory, but it probably works better on the carb motors than the EFI motors. I agree it does add a nice look, as long as you don't go overboard with a huge 6" cowl.
