Not scientific but:
After tightening the screws on my 750 DP front accel. pump, because of a slight drip, Placed a paper towel(the folded type from a despenser) under the front fuel bowl to make sure no other problems (Vic Jr. manifold). The following week in haste for an early morning cruise forgot to remove it. Sixty miles later at speeds, opened the hood, paper towel still there. I'm running a 9" K&N so it's not like anything was shrouding the towel. My opinion the scoop does nothing, good thing I guess, don't know what would have happened if it landed on the headers.
