Kind of remembering Thumpman did a deal were he drill hole in the back of his hood, to stop some of the turbulence under his sixpack hood, I think he said it pick up .
Yes it did and the afr's smoothed way out as well..........As for K&N filters, done w'those and only run Wix Racing filters w/damn near zero restriction...........
I won't drill holes in the back of my scoop, but you did just give me an idea for a spring-loaded pressure bypass in the plate that seals my carb to my hood.
But will it smooth out the air flow above the carb ?
