the original design of the cowl hood scoop was to direct cool air by picking it up from deflecting it off the windshield

And it does function fairly well. There is a high pressure area at the base of the windshield.

And to those that posted they went slower, have you given any consideration that the difference in air (be it less or more with the cowl hood) affected your a/f ratio at certain speeds?

Just a though.....

Cowl hoods DO FLOW AIR into the engine.

I dont like the looks either.
