ProCharger Competition Carb Hat for 4500 Carburetors - 5-Inch Inlet - 5.5-Inch Height - Black Finish - AM001A-002B
The ProCharger AM001A-002B Competition Carb Hat is designed for serious blow-through forced induction combinations using a 4500-style carburetor. With its large 5-inch inlet, competition-oriented internal design, and secure O-ring sealing system, this carb bonnet is built to manage the airflow demands of high-performance supercharged and turbocharged engines.
ProCharger designed its Competition Carb Hat to provide approximately 10% more airflow than its standard carb bonnet while also improving air and fuel distribution entering the carburetor. Better airflow management can help support more consistent performance across the carburetor under demanding boost and airflow conditions.
The 5-inch inlet accommodates large-diameter charge piping, while the 5.5-inch overall height provides the internal volume needed for competition-level airflow. A unique O-ring design helps maintain a dependable seal under extreme pressure and airflow. Finished in black, the AM001A-002B gives serious race and street/strip builds a clean, aggressive underhood appearance.
Important: ProCharger notes that modifications may be required when this carb hat is used with certain cast carburetors. Always verify carburetor clearance, flange compatibility, charge-pipe routing, and available hood clearance before installation.

Built for High-Airflow Blow-Through Combinations
A carb hat has to do more than connect the charge pipe to the carburetor. It must manage pressurized airflow while maintaining a dependable seal and distributing air across the carburetor as evenly as possible. The ProCharger Competition Carb Hat is shaped to improve both airflow volume and distribution compared with the company's standard carb bonnet.
The large 5-inch inlet makes the AM001A-002B a strong match for serious race and high-horsepower systems using large-diameter aluminum charge piping. Its competition-focused design and O-ring seal make it a purpose-built choice for drag racing, street/strip, no-prep, and other demanding blow-through carbureted applications.
