I intend to change my hood It has the traditional Cobra forward facing scoop It only allows 1 1/2' high air cleaners under the hood. I know that the engine runs so much better without the air cleaner installed. The spark plugs are usually black and fouled. I blame the restrictive air cleaner and the hood is the problem I want to go to a rear facing cowl opening or an enclosed bump. Can't stop the air under the hood from the radiator I was looking at a scoop that was online but discovered it was too wide and intended for a flat hood. It was 27" wide and 36 " longT the 27" was the problem as it would be wider than the hood latch handles. So I was thinking something that would fit between the handles and follow the hoods taper forward on the sides and blend into the hood in front. I figure that I will need about 3 1/2" more above the hood line.
