Default Re: Hood scoopes

On my '70 AMX D/S 124-125 MPH car with factory sealed ram-air I taped the scoops shut once. I couldn't document any ET difference and the MPH was maybe .1 better with the scoops functioning. Admittedly the scoop on this car is not really high enough to be a real advantage but that's my experience.
What is good about a scoop is the extra carb clearance you may get, which in itself can be an advantage to some cars.
