What someone could calculate is the scoop frontal opening area, and compare it to the total venturi area of the carburetor to get a ratio for comparison of air flow velocity, considfering you have a sealed system.
I don't think air via scoop is highly pressurized ( ram effect), but I think the main benefit for sealing the scoop to the carb is colder air, denser air, for more power.
