drilling a hole in the back of your scoop?

"When I wuz a kid" (and that was a LONG time ago) "they," "the thems" did a test of hood scoops. "In general" the small scoops sitting low profile on the hood were not all that effective, in terms of ram air.

That's because of the somewhat stagnant "boundary layer" of air right on the hood surface. Here's the theory:
Boundary Layer


The inlets of either the twin soop or the six-pack scoop are raised to be up above the boundary layer - and the Hemi Dart/Barracuda scoop is so danged tall the boundary layer theory doesn't apply.
One of earliest scoops to address the boundary layer was the "mailbox" scoop on the '69 Hurst SC/Ramblers.
