Default Re: Modified Stock hood scoop?

Yes, when using hinge setup scoop back lenght can be an issue. Slightly trickier making carbs seal to hood. As far as height I'd have to look at how high my carb set up was going to be and add a few inches to that, which unless your engine is fairly low in the car still winds up requiring a rather tall scoop. Problem with the tall scoops is while chasing in the left lane unable to see opponent for most of run. Good luck I'm sure you'll make it work. Currently trying to work out some issue with my EFI setup, would like to change to a Cowl hood. Joe

I thought about the visibility issue with the tall scoop too. I'm thinking though that with the scoop not all the way back to the windshield I should have better visibility. Guess I'll find out. What class are you building the EFI for?

For my BX setup. Have had a few issues with it running COP and EFI , funny how sometimes the simplest things give you the most trouble. Joe
