6"cowl hood extended and trimmed back to 1.5-2"s off the windsheild sealed to carb against factory 6pac hood unsealed and no hood. No hood won over both hoods in ET the cowl was a tenth slower over no hood and the 6pac was about 3-4hundreds. the cowl went the best mph(1) but killed the 60ft so maybe the weight of it hurt it.we lightened the hood slightly by removing the seal to the carb but havent had a chance to go back and give er a try.

I know even on the 6pk scoops I heard it helped to just raise the opening a small amout of about 1/4 to 1/2" like on the 6pk scoops. Just to get the opening off the hood and raised any does help from what I hear. In other words have it so the bottom of the scoop opening is not right on the hood as I believe it works better to raise the scoop some even if only a 1/4" to get the scoop up in the air stream and get the opening off the hood itself. Like what the snorkel scoops did in Pro Stock in the 70's. Actually going by that standard means my Max Wedge scoop really dont work good at all the way it is like they were stock. I believe the trick on the front open scoops is to get the scoop up in the air flow better as flat on the hood is not as good air flow into the scoop. Ron

We have talked on this before so you know how I feel on this.. but if you do the string from the front of the hood to the roof line and stay above it your in clean air... I havent had much work with the cowl scoops yet but I have a cowl now on my Rampage and will start testing this summer

I remember...............I heard about the scoop opening needing to be at the BOTTOM of the scoop entrance but on a driver, I probably can`t get away with it but maybe one of those old-skool pro stock scoops could work.
On a daily driver I would at least try to get a portion of the inlet above that line...any bit will help... remember that you can move the inlet forward and get above it... thats why you see some GM cars with the opening right near the front

Dom just thinking out loud here wile having a couple So I hope it don't turn into a fest on me Hows 'bout (I'm not a fan of them either) a cowl scoop closed off at the back with 2 custom air inlet scoops on each side in the front. Maybe you could graft something like a pair of Cuda or Chally style scoops in there. Who knows maybe the nose of your 6 Pack scoop can be grafted near the front. It would be low and street friendly and pick up some air from the nose of the car. It would certainly be original Or maybe I need
