rvoyles, After reading my response I realized I didn`t answer your question. The ducting you are talking about has to work better than a plain ol air cleaner suckin hot engine heat but probably not as good as a sealed scoop+ they look horrible to me. Get a glass hood, paint it body color and scoop it and enjoy your new found power.

I bid on one of those last night on ebag....I wasn't the high bidder though. I still have the Battery up front so I'm not 100% sure if I can route both hoses to the cowl. I guess I could try and use one big hose like the old Camaros did (I think it was a Camaro). It would likely flow better that way too.

I could...but I really like my Glass (AAR fiberglass) rallye hood. I wouldn't mind making the scoops functional.....it wouldn't have a scoop affect...but it should at least provide cold air.
