I had the exact opposite affect as others in regards to hood scoops and sealing it to the carb. I lost my WO scoop at Quaker City one night, next round broke out by (if I recall) .08 off the gas, running an ET that was unusual for the car. What I figured was the scoop was catching more air than the car could consume and was acting as a sail.
