Apparently some people do actually work out bugs and discover gains during the Sunday test and tune. The top pic was Ray's first hit, and the only time I think the car ran with the hood on all week. As much as I love the look, I guess it just doesn't work, because his second pass (bottom pic) and the rest of the week, was hoodless with the aluminum scoop attached to the carb.
