I will provide more detail. My carb sits pretty high, probably about 1" higher than the bottom of the scoop opening. I have the short 6-pak style AAR hood and my carb is sealed very well to the hood.

I have wondered if my scoop is arrowdynamically below the flow of air.

My carb is on a 1" HVH spacer that I could remove and try a couple of passes without it?

At this point, I just want it to run appropriate times for what it is. Not to concerned if I need another style of scoop, but don't want to do it if there is no gain there.
