Carburetor scoops do they make a difference?

Here i thought i was reading an interesting conversation... i am bound to having a scoop. Bought it pre-equipped. So i need to continue with pre-owners plan.
Im hoping its in the right place.
Will likely not attempt any fancy sealing or fitting panels.

There was some good reading until the brain box guy chimed in,didnt realize efi was in the mix here.
