Can someone on this web site tell me how much horse power you get when you add a "six pack or Hemi" style hood scoop, or any hood scoop, to a Mopar car? No matter what the discussion concerning a rule it always leads to a scoop on a Mopar car.

I have one on a 1972 Plymouth Duster and I swear I don't think it is good .001 second in et at any track. If someone knows different please tell me. I am building a new motor and was in this same type of discussion with racers. For fun I mention using domed pistons aftermarket crankshaft in the discussion and got to the scoop on the hood and "oh no you can't run that scoop on that hood." Didn't say anything about what I said about the engine.

As long as we are on the subject can I run a shaker hood on my 1970 Barracuda with a 383 4 barrel combo?

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.

Ryan, I'm sorry if I offended you, I'm actually quite humble. I am also well aware that this forum is not a writing contest. But seriously, so many people come on here and bitch about this and bitch about that, and how can they ever get anything fixed when they can't communicate in common written English? I see your point but some of the posts on here are not worthy of a Third grade essay. And we wonder why our country is suffering? Grown men can't write! Do you think NHRA or anyone else will take someone seriously when they can't draw up a letter explaining a simple gripe?

Are people so desperate to be heard that they can't re-read a post before hitting enter?
