If you can borrow an aero scoop, mock it up to determine if you can see the 'tree while staging. Venting the hood at the rear will get rid of the air in the engine compartment hitting the firewall.

I think RT540 had one and I saw cars in Orland with them. They don't detract from the car or hood since they are clear. They have a good size opening too.

Gonna have to be an aero scoop to fit that setup. That's what I like about Shawn "dare to be different" and use what works best (heaven forbid) instead of what the "Mopar Gods" deemed correct. Go for it, I wanna see a bumper draggin 8 second time slip The scoop works for AJ and I'm pretty sure his car's all Mopar (if it matters ) 5479242-08stratus005.jpg (44 downloads) Doug 1967 "Pedal Car" 500" low deck , TF 727, 4.30 Locker Best to Date: 11.67 @ 114.9 1.64 60ft "Kids in cars cause accidents.

They run a PERIOD CORRECT type scoop and with less than 450 cubic inches they are running 8.40's @ 155 to 158.

Tennessee	Quote: Carbs are way to close to the top of the hood..you have to have atleast 1 inch over the vent tubes..2 inch is more like it..put you a nice looking aero scoop on it...I bet it would pick up 2 tenths.. I would have said the same thing an hour ago but then I saw the pics at Moparmax.com of both of the Wescot's cars at Indy. http://www.moparmax.com/events/2009/iv_9-hemi-1.html The vents look like they are holding the scoop up LOL. Conventional wisdom says that should not work . Duh. I think I would try the short aero scoop on top of your existing cowl hood like a few others have suggested.
