Placing the scoop in direct line with moving air improved the “ram” factor. A scoop with an opening flush with the hood surface was essentially mounted in dead air. Instead, the inlet was raised slightly to account for the air flow passing over the nose and hood of the car. With this arrangement, the opening of the scoop wasn’t flush with the top of the hood. These first Mopar-designed scoops relied on the “boundary layer” principle. A year or so later, a slightly more sophisticated, but equally large scoop appeared on 1969 440 Six Packcars.
Factory race cars, such as the 1968 Super Stock Darts and Barracudas, incorporated large forward-facing scoops. The Mopar bunch took the direct approach to cold air systems.
#COWL HOOD SCOOP PRO#
The early beginnings of Pro Stock brought us an abundance of different hood scoop designs, and to a certain degree, the influences came straight from Chrysler Corp. They weren’t truly functional hood scoops. Plenty of those cars came from the factory with cold air induction packages, and many of these cold air packages were for looks only.
Almost simultaneously, muscle cars became a hot commodity. With racers struggling to find tenths (or even hundredths) of seconds, fresh air induction suddenly became important. For instance, notice the scoop design on this SS/Modified Cobalt. The diversity in hood scoops is remarkable. Instead they had an array of open injector stacks poking through the hood top.īut then, Super Stock quickly became the rage.
