Using drop bases on the carbs will fix that. Seen it done many times.
If it was worth any power on those cars, I'm sure they would be doing it.

If you`re talking about the Hemi guys, I read somewhere that they can`t use air pans.................

Sure they can, problem is they don't help. The scoop has to be kept within factory dimensions and as discussed in other threads is not high enough to do any good. Sealing the scoop would probably cost it air vs letting it get some underhood air unsealed.

Hi Monte in your opinion is there an advantage in the glasstek 5" six pack scoop over the glasstek 6" cowl hood thanks for any insight you may have

... they just arent tall enough to get up
into the real air flow... they MAY be getting a good
percentage of their air flow from inside the hood
area.. I picked up ET and 3 MPH on my scoop when I
sealed it

A forward opening scoop is USELESS unless it is high enough in the air stream to over come the "boundary layer bleed off" on the surface of the hood. Grab an old Direct Connection manual and do some reading. All this is covered.

A lot of guys don't like the look of cowls on a Mopar, especially the "purists", but bottom line, they WORK when set up right.

The "factory" forward facing scoops were for one of two things...LOOKS or CLEARANCE..........you will notice performance is NOT included in that list.

Again, these are NOT ONLY my opinions, but those of the Mopar engineers as well.

I would venture a guess that this car will run the SAME, with or without a plug in the scoop
