Just curious if anyone has any data/tests on airflow into the hood scoop . Reason for asking is I`ve been told by several people who have experience in that area that when you get above a certain speed that the air flow over the hood and the high pressure area in front of the windshield causes the air to stop flowing into the scoop .
Too cold here for me to run my own test with strings on the hood yet , but maybe someone else has ???
Yes , they look cool ... and I also have one in the garage , but hesitate to put it on just yet as I finally got my carb sorted out with its existing air flow system .
I don`t disagree with what Gaz64 or Mastertouch 327 say about airflow through a certain size opening , but would those figures still be valid on a hood scoop actually on a car with the windshield ... don`t know , just asking .
