But I found some pics of 340 Rick's old Challenger w/ the 5" VFN scoop and figured I post 'em up like those silly celebrity "Who wore it better?" fashion comparisons... 2021 Challenger 6.4L Scat Pack 1320 100% stock: 1.680, 11.894 at 113.75 (DA 175 ft) weight reduction, wheels, tires, Hellcat air box: 1.661, 11.686 at 115.97 (DA 710 ft) 1973 Challenger 452 ci street/strip [2008] pump gas, DOT radials: 1.454, 10.523 at 126.44 (DA 514 ft)

And the purists need to chill- cowl scoops look pretty darn good on e bodys. Face it- a 70 "cuda is basically a really good looking 69 Camaro. And with that, I'm outta here!

This subject gets thrown around a lot ,didn't the 70 RR/GTX come with cowl style hoods

Everyone loves to cry about cowl hoods on mopars, but for the classes that prohibit a forward facing scoop...what exactly are you supposed to do?

I like the concept of the scoop I just wish it was more like 5" over the carb and tapered down to say 4" or even 4 1/2" at the opening... and the openings themselves were more rounded to (instead of rectangular) to more resemble the original T/A WIZE World's Quickest Diahatsu Rocky (??) 414" Stroker Small block Mopar Powered. 10.84 @ 123...and gettin' quicker! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-mWzLma3YGI In Car: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PjXcf95e6v0

Until I was able to get a good deal on a Shaker hood, so I made my Super Shaker scoop and hood. Most don't like it, but I don't care.
