I was thinking, with the cowel induction hood on the old chevy's and the huge air scoop on the 426 Hemi's, how effcive is the size and position of the scoop on the hood of a Cobra?

I feel that the "weak-link" is the ability to get adaquate air flow into the carb.

I'm using a turkey pan with my 750CFM to help caputre air comming in through the scoop, but I can't help but to think that since the scoop is so low to the hood, that an actual vaccum may form at that works against the effeciency of the carb.

Kinda like a paint sprayer.

Anyway, does anyone have any data/experience as to the effeciency of the stock Cobra scoops?

The K&N X-treme air filter top helps, but the 1" filter element is a real choker.
