Sorry to highjack but what gains can be expected going from a stock Hood to a glass with hemi scoop on a -68 barracuda?
Anyone ever did a somewhat fair back to back test on this?
You should see .2 gain if sealed... maybe a bit more
depending on the current tune up

I wouldn't BANK on it netting you 2/10ths. As a matter of fact if the carb is not too close to the hood now with NO scoop, adding one may not help it at all. Most factory scoops were not put on because they worked. Most were for strictly looks or air cleaner clearance.

This is very true with those low style factory scoops..
most of them are JUNK but the mopar people HAVE to
have them.... they arent up in the clean air flow

My carb is very close to the Hood now. I even need to use a drop base with a 2,5" filter! I wonder if cold air is just as important with E85 as with gas?

Just thinking out loud but wouldn't the hood try to raise because of fast moving air (low pressure) above, than the slow moving air under the hood (high pressure)?  Like a convertible top
