Getting all that 'little' scoop can give-enough air to run 11.8's @ 121 on Hoosier TD's (crap for drag racing) and pull strongly to 6800. No nosing over. There are many guys on here running 10's and low 11's with the same or similar sized scoop so I have no scientific marvel.
I allowed as much air entry as possible on the front and side entries of the pan. Drag radials are worth 5 tenths and the pan is a solid tenth. Improved throttle response and no washout returning to idle-it cured those problems. The Extreme tops are a major factor-at least in my setup. Closed tops (especially on the Stellings) are a rev limiter. Been there, saw that.
Agreed, cowl inductions are the most efficient but few of us will do that.
The TP probably lost power on the dyno because the air feed hood may have stood above it. Still, holes of any kind defeat the purpose.
I know my pan is not to everyone's taste but it
really works for me-if it didn't, it would not be on the car since 2004.
