You are exactly correct!!! That is why if you knew me at all ???? you would see that i now have a 70 Challenger!!!!. GT cars do not have hood scoops...thank you very much..

Re: Hood Scoops to Comp
 

Jim, you're welcome. My point is I;m unsure why some think just because a S/S car has a hood scoop it's somehow less of a S/S car. Is it just the scoop? Is it the supposed big MPH? None of these arguments hold water. The big MPH, heck my buddy Tony Depillo nearly spins me around with his SS/B Honkin Hemi, of course it does have a "factory" hood scoop. I think we can all agree we will NEVER all agree. You're right I don't know you and we disagree on some things .... but I'd be happy to meet you if the oppritunity ever comes up.Joe

Re: Hood Scoops to Comp
 

As Worner said!! most of the cars with scoops are comp cars... or at least they have comp motors hows that...its just the easy way out of a teardown....It realy don't matter to me anyway it's all a bracket race after we all qualify anyway write?

Re: Hood Scoops to Comp
 

that is exactly correct! WINNER "the easy way out of tear down" you guys are starting to get it, that is why i have a modified car less nhra enhancement to deal with.... no pouring heads, cc's to deal with, compression ratio to worry about , valve sizes etc. but yet i still get to run the class i love.. oh by the way the modified stuff does not cost anymore and in some instances less than conventional s/s engines.

Re: Hood Scoops to Comp
 

Im not against any combo here!. everyone has there preference in the brand or type of engine combo they choose or like to run..but the whole point was!! HOOD SCOOPS???.keep the modified classes take the hood scoops off!!! if im not mistaken here isn't that what superstock & stock are based on when it comes down to it!!! whos legal and who's not?? maybe we should have modified cars in stock as well... ???

Re: Hood Scoops to Comp
 

then what do you do about factory s/s cars with hood scoops? hey im for it i hate the scoop on my car, i have been plotting out a big cowl bulge hood to fit over the carb and intake.

Re: Hood Scoops to Comp
 

That is what my orginal post was!!! if it was not factory,,, then it shouldn't be there.....

Re: Hood Scoops to Comp
 

I want a scoop for my stocker LOL so for modified cars that run superstock if u cant run comp maybe you should run super gas or super comp and for the guys that do it so u dont have to tear down GET THE F**K OUT OF THE CLASS if u dont want to tear down you should tear down just like the rest next we have pro stock cars running in superstock and they have even been tear down to oww wate they not to lazey to work on there cars

Re: Hood Scoops to Comp
 

Change the intake manifold rules and make them keep the carbs UNDER the OEM factory type hoods. They can be lite wt. fiberglass or whatever but make them look stock. Let them use 8 each 4500 dominators or a blower if they want but keep it all under the stock appearing hoods. Those tall bulged hood scoops look like s##t.
