Default Cowl induction XJS!

Gotcha!



Haha, well we got DUMPED on with snow last week, so i began cleaning it off the jag (unfortunately i dont have a garage to put it in and the car cover got soaked in oil) and i thought, what the hell, how does an XJS look with cowl induction.

What are your guy's comments on a cowl'd jag? I feel it would take some, if not a lot, of heat away from the V and even give the opportunity to clean up the V a bit more and position wire's, fuel rails, etc etc a bit higher out of the V to protect from all that damm heat.

lol, your jag looks just like mine.

i want a small bonnet bulge to clear my supercharger snout. something thats just barely noticeable to the average XJS enthusiast, but will have them thinkg "i wonder whats actually under that bonnet?"

but a cowl is too over the top for me.

How about a teardrop blister? Just trim it to the size you need and weld it on.
