Badger, that's some very cool background on the coupe testing/development, thanks for the info...I didn't realize you had tuft-tested and got those results...
On the Cobra, I would bet that AT BEST the air coming over the hood to the scoop has no positive pressure, and may actually have a lower pressure than the carb inlet area below it. If I get the time I may do a little tuft-testing to see what mine does, but if anyone beats me to it, please post here to let us know what they find. And I guess different configurations (different kit brands and intake setups) may get slight to large differences in results (sort of a "Your results may vary" kind of thing).
Like you said, just cause it looks cool or "looks right" doesn't mean it works right :-)
