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'

Ford already did this hideous scoop idea! :wack:

What about the scoop that comes on the new drag pack challenger? A guy I work with took the pro-stock style scoop and put on a cowl and he picked up .2 and 3 mph. Once that big scoop is pressured with air its like a piece of plywood standing on the hood.

Another Demon with a cowl scoop. This one was a King Of the Street (KOS) car. See it?

I am old school and like the look of the old style hemi scoop. However, I am probably twice your age.
 
I like the "hi lift Dart sport scoop from AAR. I have one on my Valiant. there's a picture of it in the galleries, under 1974 Valiant Brougham no resto.
 
IMO, those old style scoops look like crap. Does not matter if they are Mopar or not. When I see cars with these things on it makes me think that the guy is stuck in the 70's. The cowl hoods look much better IMO.

This is your car, do what you like. I would not criticize anybody to their face on their choice of stuff, not a nice thing to do. Everybody has their opinions and preferences, we are all different.
Too many people are fanatics in this hobby. They will hate anything that is not their brand, the GM guys seem to be the worst. A true lover of this hobby can and will appreciate stuff from any manufacturer.

Glad yours is not the only opinion. I think a car looks good with period correct and make correct accessories. Tends to make a Mopar look more like a Mopar and less like a chebbie. Run your cowl hood. It will still look like ***.
 
Yeah a snorkel is period correct for some cars. I could do worse. I could tell him to run a T5. LOL

I'd run a dozen T5's before id even think of putting a snorkel scoop on any car...hey, wanna go for a swim with those scoops? all we need now are some good air tanks:toothy9:
 
I'm putting a cowl scoop on my Dart Sport. It looks good and allows better vision on the street and a cleaner engine bay. As far as being a GM scoop, I've never seen a FACTORY scoop on a Chevelle or Camaro in those proportions. Most all of us Mopar A-body fans love the Mr. Norm Demons and even he put Pontiac air cleaners on the 6 pack cars. Why don't anybody criticize him for this? If it's yours, do with it what you want.
 
Voted for the prostock, but not the one you had pictured. That style reminds me of a male dog lying on his back. Why not something a bit more retro? Like this maybe?

That's the one I've been talking about. Looks tons better than the cowl and it's a Mopar scoop.
 
I'm trying to decide on a hood for my Duster. Since im running a tall Indy tunnel ram with twin 1050 Dominators I need a hood with a bigger opening. These are the 2 that I'm thinking about. I know the cowl is more of a Chevy hood...but it don't look all that bad. I don't want a 6 Pak or a Hemi scoop, I have friends with each of them already so I don't want the same as them.

Thanks for looking


Run what you like or choose. It is your car and only you need to be satisfied regardless or your reasons or our opinions. You need to be happy. Don worry what others think, it not their car.

It doesn't matter who's scoop the OP uses, as long as he likes it.
He asked for our opinions, which he received, its now up to him.
No need to bash anybody for their choice just because we don't like it, or it is NOT Mopar.
My goodness people some of you need to grow up.

No, you need to grow up. He asked for opinions. If it's someone's opinion that Mopar scoops look good on Mopars and chebbie scoops look like *** on Mopars, that's still an opinion and he asked for it. You need to get a grip that you didn't define the rules of the thread, the OP did.
 
If it's yours, do with it what you want.


Now ain't that the **** TRUTH! :afro:

You're the only one who has to live with what you decide. All other opinions are like..... well..... you know the saying. :bootysha:

I once had a guy tell me that I should wrap all the rollbar padding in my Demon with electrical tape. I just looked at the guy and said, "whaddya, *bleep*ing French? Ya want my car to look like a welfare mobile?" :vom: Yup the dude was French, was arrogant as he!! and thought his $#!+ didn't stink. :grin:

you sir need to relax. the only one here bashing others opinions or defining thread rules seems to be you right now

No, I haven't bashed anybody else's opinion. All I said was cowl scoops look like *** on Mopars. I only expressed my opinion. Everybody needs to lighten up and stop puttin words in other peoples mouths.
