Thanks Richard, glad you took the time to run some flow tests on the JBL, you can never argue with the data.

Even more relevant to my setup which will use the SMALL scoop, the below taken from another thread -

"... we did test the small scoop configuration as well. This unit provided no flow enhancement. It actually reduced pressure at the annulus. This was due to boundary layer effects. In other words, at 100 mph, the flow is over the unit due to thickness of the boundary layer, therefore giving a net reduction in pressure."

So it seems the ONLY benefit of a turkey pan on a reasonable facsimile of a cobra is cooler air being sucked through the intake (and that's with good size scoop). The question I have is - with the small scoop, is there any cooling at all? If I understand you correctly, it would be negated completely by that reduction in pressure at the scoop mouth?
