I understand. Most scoops do not pull in anywhere near as much as as most people think they do anyway, unless you are running a legitimate huge ole Pro Stock scoop. This scoop will probably be 3" longer & at least 3-4" taller than a stock shaker scoop when done.
The openings will be raised slightly & will also be larger in size. It will pull more air than it looks now.
The base will mount with stanchions & feet to mount the intake or upper valve cover studs with some quick pins for ease of removal of the whole assembly for in between round maintenance when needed.
