Bob, I think a 1-2" cowl would look really good on your car, like the first one under 87-93's at this site:

I think the modest height cowl gives it a performance look but doesn't scream "I'm the baddest mofo on the block."
They also have cowl hoods for 4 eyes. We had a 2" cowl hood on our 84 vert that we got from a parts car. I think it gave it a decidedly aggressive look without really going over the top. It would've been nice if it were steel framed as I think A5literMan was eluding to. The fiberglass at the latch was ripped out when we got it, necessitating repair or hood pins. I repaired it and apparently it worked for a while. One had to close the hood carefully, not just slam it down or let gravity do the job. Apparently, the later owners of the car installed hood pins because they didn't understand that....
