I have an 8" hole in the hood under the scoop right at the carb. I bought this nice kit that Moroso makes that you adjust to size and then rivet it together and add the foam. It turned out nice. Just curious if any racers have done this with the factory style Max Wedge scoop ?? Since it is not very tall I wonder how much air it will actually get and about how much some of you jetted up ?? Here is a pic of it on the car. Thanks , Ron

DEPENDS on if the scoop is in the "good-air" or not. If it is in "bad-air" .. it can actually siphon the fuel-air mixture OUT of the carb .. if the scoop is in a negative-pressure area.
