Would a hood scoop help my problem?

If you want some cheap fast do both cold air intake and alt/fan shutoff.
Just a switch to kill alternator field when you run would do it, because the draw of the fans isn't the problem.
The alt trying to keep up with that draw is.

Kill the alt field and cold air intake would probably get you a fair amount faster than your lowest time to date.

With my old motor i had the voltage regulator isolated from the ground and had one of them hood alarm buttons set up on the throttle. at full throttle ground losted, no alt charge. I killed a tenth of a second. but i also removed factory fan and installed electric water pump at the same time. The reason i didn't us the alt kill on my new motor was because the fans pull on the battery enough that i had to bring a generator and a battery charger to keep the battery charged enough to start the car, if i went several rounds.(I have a better battery now as well)
With over 12.5:1 compression with my new motor, i didn't want to worry if i had enough time to get it charged back up before the next round.
The other thing that worried me by killing the alt charge was whether i was pulling the voltage down to low with the cooling fans to affect the spark of my ignition. so i didn't hook it up with this eng.
