i cant get a baseplate for the dominator for my hillborn scoop.i dont want any ill effects like if i had a flat plate that the carbs stick thru and have it effect the air in a bad way.should i have a 1" taper to the carbs?effect?
thanks for any idea,info.
i have some .090 sheet i am cutting for the basic shape of the plate so can i cut a strip 1" and bent it in a circle and have it tig welded for the transfer to the carb?
please i dont want to CNC a billet 1.
Thanks!

Show me a pic of a hilborn scoop just to make sure
I know what it looks like... I'm pretty sure but want
to make sure
EDIT
I see it now... the pic was slow loading..... what are
you trying to accomplish... move the scoop upward

i dont want any ill effects from the air going over the top of the carbs,flat or raised.the only opening in the scoop will be in the front opening.

Got your drift.... I would add 2 ideal entry's to
the base of the scoop(thats what I call them) some
call them velocity stacks.... might need to shorten
the height of them some but they work great at getting
the air to make the turn... thats what I have on my
pan going into the carb.
It will raise the scoop but that helps get the air
in better

i certainly dont want to make the scoop any taller than i have to.it is even with the roof now. i was thinking of cutting/forming 2 1" x 22" long strips to make the stack and attach it to the baseplate.[no tapper,streight down]

i have the baseplate opened.now i need to trim the sides to fit the scoop then i can raise it off the carb with a 1" strip and get it welded.i have another scoop also i am using as a backup.

here lies part of the problem with the carbs being as wide as the scoop i need to make the base wider than the scoop so it is all 1 piece.
