Would a hood scoop help my problem?

Here's another option that lets you skip the hood scoop. This is on my street car. The air cleaner is Spectra. I bought it from Summit. $120, it comes with one snorkel on it and another one in the box that you locate and weld on. It aluminum. To be honest its a little on the small side so it is somewhat restrictive. You can buy much larger ones by RamAir Box I think? They're pricey. You could also check the junk yards for a large air filter from an old full size car or truck and add another snorkel. The ducting in the picture is plain old 4 inch dryer duct from Home Depot. It draws air from under the front bumper.
