In Reply to: if you reverse that hood scoop you'll draw far better gains than when it is facing forwards. posted by poopeter on 2002-09-15 08:32:09

I actually tested the hood with yarn and a pressure probe before actually modding it. now with the scoop I get good pressure from the forward facing duct. If you look at it head on the leading edge is much lower than the back of the scoop opening and it gets a nice shot of cool pressurized air!
