Scoops can catch a ton of air. Years ago when I put a 440 6 pack hood on my old Duster the first pass I noticed it was bowing up in the middle bad. This was only running mid 11s. It broke the middle support. I figured it was cracked or something so the next week fixed and supported it and it broke it again.... eek

It was a hinge latch setup and the scoop caught so much air it pulled the latch setup out of the hood eventually. Had to pin it down.
