Long gone are the days when mounting a hood scoop required a hand full of pop rivets and a hack saw. Although the fundamental purpose is still the same, a hood scoop is no longer a single component. Instead, a hood scoop is now an entire system made of several elements designed for maximum efficiently and functionality.
In addition to the scoop itself, you will need to consider the following to get the most out of your induction set up.
1) Airflow Positioning -airflow in and around the hood scoop
2) Positioning - for optimal driver visibility
3) Clearance - for throttle linkage, solenoids and other mechanisms within proximity
4) Isolator Tray - to maximize and restrict airflow to desired areas
5) Hood Scoop Stand - for secure fitment and easy removal for maintenance
In episode 16 of our Door Slammer Build Series, Tim details every facet of hood scoop mounting that will yield the greatest results in terms of performance and usability. This includes several tips on suitable positioning for airflow and visibility, utilizing a hood scoop stand and isolator tray as well as final trimming and finishing.
