anybody sealed they're hood scoop to the carb?

[33IMP]

These are ones i did for mine, single four barrel, and maxwedge crossram. They are both dirty, cause they are both sitting in a corner of the garage.
In both cases, the car slowed down with the pan sealed to the hood. This is with a raisin bran scoop. Maybe not enough airflow area through the scoop, maybe cause i didnt spend enough time tuning for the pan.
In either case, it was easier to put them in the garage.

Edit: ran the four barrel with and without a k&n filter. Slowed down with the pan seal in both cases.

Okay that's the same one I have the dart sport one. From what I read That's supposed to be one of the better scoop is far as being able to pick up air that isn't having turbulence issues from flowing over the grill and Hood a cetera

Yes sir I'm having issues posting new threads for some reason it doesn't pop up and I do a lot of research so I try not to bother people in here

I would think that the foam would blow out of place with incoming air pressure. That's why the factory used rubber seals.
My opinion.

My opinion.

That is true, except for a few things. First, the foam was originally wrapped with duct tape to hold it in place. Second, the impressions made by the underhood bracing showed that the foam wasnt moving . Those impressions are long gone, because these have been sitting on a shelf for at least a decade. Third, if the seal was no good, why did it have an effect, demonstrably slowing the car down in A to B tests?

You mean the 354 covers over the small block ones.. lol, gets people all the time in the shop that look at it. It is a good running 340 though

Ya know I was going to ask"..is that a small block with Faux hemi rocker covers ?..." well as long as you get the ram air effect and it works. I knew a guy with a 71 Charger with air grabber and he has always professed that it worked when he opened the door up...
