That's correct. The inlet area of the scoop is more critical than the size of the scoop. If the inlet is too big, then you need to bleed off the excess of inlet air due to the fact it will induce drag on the car and unnecessary turbulence inside the scoop that will effect the performance of the engine.
Also, a hood scoop only becomes effective after specific speeds.
