From testing both Chrysler and myself, the top of the carb should be 3/4" below the bottom of the scoop for best performance... if the carb is up in the air flow its causing turbulence plus if its way up in the air flow its making the air go into shear to get into the carb .... if you want to do a cheapo wind tunnel test tape 2"-3" long pieces of yarn to all different places in the scoop and mount a camera to the hood so you can record the action of the stings

OR...Mount the camera onto your brothers car facing rearward when you run him heads-up. Sorry, I saw it and I took the shot. J/K, I joke. I'm big on the string trick for scoop placement. Mike added valid criteria...below bottom of scoop base.

Mr P, I'm guessing you mean 3-4 inches and not 3/4"? Mine's barely at 3" and I've wondered if that's too close.
No... I said 3/4" below the BOTTOM of the scoop not the top... by rights they say 3/4" below the bottom of the intake of the scoop
Thumper they have rules to follow... look at pro stocks they dont put those scoops on just for kicks... you know are the PS guys are about aerodynamics

I have this old test done by Direct Connection for the snorkle scoops showing desired placement. they had found the previous style didn't work very well and came up with this design.this is the older scoop and lack of anything protruding out from the opening showed very little airflow into it.It might sound weird but I am using this on my Cuda.

I think Lonnie will be looking at tail lights even if he is quicker than me
Actually, our cars are very well matched as they sit. I am looking to throw another .1 to .2 in the bank though.
