That cowl hood air pan looks very familiar. They work very well; ask me how I know?

I think the horse power level and whether is 1/8 or 1/4 mile track would play a huge roll so your results may vary.
On my alky injected 565 it made very little difference on 1/8 passes, not enough to want to cut a hole in my new hood.
I made 2 runs with the scoop and 2 runs with the cowl hood back to back with my homemade air pan that pulls air from in front of the radiator. ET was within less than 2 hun and no change to MPH and that's where I thought for sure there would be an improvement.
This is the scoop attached to a dragster style air pan

Cowl hood

Air pan used with the cowl hood, from radiator to the firewall and foam that seals in to the cowl hood
