And FWIW, Double Venom's tuft work confirms what I had always suspected, the hood scoop is good looking, but fairly worthless, and any benefit you'd get from cool air by sealing your carb to the hood would be lost by starving the engine for air (at higher RPM). JMHO.
Is the restriction the small air filter you are forced to use by the turkey pan or the scoop?

It is definitely because of the turkey pan, not the scoop!
I have had the Turkey pan off my engine, and without it I can put a 14 inch drop down air cleaner that flows over 1000 cfm with no interference to the hood or scoop. I just hated the way it looked. I also had a ram-box fitted to my car at one time and it looked much better, but i did not like the quality of the ram-box chrome finish at that time, so i abandoned the idea, but I plan on re-visiting this idea when I put on the new high flow side pipes, hopefully this year. I did put some pics in another thread at that time on this forum I believe.

Here is one of the threads. I did try and post pics, but the size restrictions were to small. I will try to post them again.

If any one wants some pics of my trial fit, send me an email to davids2toys@charter.net

Went through a frustrating time trying to get enough air into my 460",with a stock hood and scoop impossible! Especially after talking with K&N.My solution bought another hood and a Harwood scoop with an opening that best matched the Cobra's but a lot more area.Cut it down grafted it to new hood,used a drop base pan with 3"x14" and extreme top.The Edelbrock Performer RPM set the K&N perfectly inside the scoop,now the 460 can get all the air it can inhale through a Dan Davinci 1000cfm dbl pmp.What a difference driving the car since starting with the Stellings.
