Quote: Is your carb sealed to the hood you now have? Just a thought. The SSAH cars I have looked at all have the carbs about 1 inch from the top of the scoop. You may not be losing as much as you think.
My scoop is sealed to the carb. I have seen the SS/AH cars and they are real close also. They are limited by what they have to run though. I bet they would all tell you it would be quicker if it wasnt so close. They have probably all found that added plenum is worth more than the close carb/scoop hurts them.
