The car was going 147 in the 1/4 at that time. It was like a parachute on the big end. Put a 5" cowl hood on and the car went 150+ with no other changes. Neither were sealed to the carb and the tall SS scoop had a good size hole under it. If he's really stuck on the idea, any good fiberglass shop can make the sides of the scoop longer.

Less obstruction of visibility. Faster, Faster until the thrill of speed overcomes the fear of death... 71 Swinger - slowly collecting dust/parts 66 Belv.

Also the fact that this is a street strip pro-mod type effort, he might have issues with windshield visibility with such an obstacle up front. Not to hijack this but I just grafted a VFN scoop to a flat good and its a 5" scoop. I tapered it in the back down 1" and sealed it to to the carb. Just recently got to run it with no issues but is it too much air? Should I put relief holes in the back? Founder and CEO of the Central Valley Mopar Drag Pack
