The Big hole in the front literally scoops so much air that it forces air out of the scoop while you are driving. The only way a scoop works is if the carb(s) are totally sealed to the underside of the hood separate from the engine. There are some nice examples on this site, just can't find one at the moment.
Are you sure of that

Looking at the front it seems as if the radiator almost block the entire opening - only allowing litte air to pass...

and I would expect the air to be forced under the car rather that the wrong way out of the hood scoope against the wind
