recently comin' from WV...we'd use the first one...but put in on backwards...that'll really catch the air....around120000000cfm@120mph I reckin'
 
Vintage Pro Stock , c.1970-c.1980 .

Back when Pro Stock actually meant stock , i.e. , cars based on Body-In-White , assembly line cars :)

I think this is the old pro stock scoop style. A couple of places sell these. Just an idea. IMO I like these better than the new pro stock or the cowl.

I met Butch Leal a couple years ago at a Super Stock Reunion show. Real cool guy!

I met him in Commerce many moons ago in his heyday. He has always to this day been one of my all time favorites. Just a all around nice guy. In all the years I watched drag racing I don't think I ever saw The California Flash show bad sportsmanship. Hell of a driver, too.
 
I bought this car late last October with this scoop on it, but I will be switching to this other hood soon.

Here is a picture of my duster when I bought it. It had the older pro stock scoop on the hood. I keep the hood , but installed another factory hood with dual scoops as i did not need the pro stock scoop. I do think the pro stock scoop gives it a nostalgic look. Has to be better look than a chevrolet cowl hood IMO.

took a while but the cowl kept growing on me, I think it looks good, and it will piss of a few chevy guys
 
NO HOOD ! twin dominators hanging out of a demon/duster is like something out of a comic book !
 
I didnt vote cus I dont like ether one.I like all the mopar scoops the six pack being #1 then the hemi scops..BUT its not my car.........Artie
 
I like the old style Snorkle scoop.It's kind of like the pro stock scoop you've shown, but more squared off. (this was actually the old style Pro stock scoop)

Exactly the thought I had. A variation of this has the front air slot on the lower part of the scoop. Grumpy's Toy was like that.

Too bad you have to have a hood. Topless is a great look.
