I hate my scoop
I really don't like the scoop on my altered. I just don't know what to replace it with. It seems to me that a scoop on an altered is just a parachute on the front of the car.
Has anyone did any testing as far as running with and with out a scoop? I do like the looks of some of the new aerodynamic scoops but my budget is limited. I was thinking maybe something like... http://static.summitracing.com/globa...um-g3021_w.jpg or http://static.summitracing.com/globa...-g3019-1_w.jpg Or just run some sort of cool air cleaner. http://static.racingjunk.com/1/ui/0/...R-DOOR-CAR.jpg |
I like the first one, to me they have that nostalic look that's way cool.

I like the spitzer anteater scoop on Bantams. I saw an altered on racingjunk with one of those and it looked great to me.

You mention "with and without" a scoop. Don't attempt to make a pass without something over the carb. At speed the air going across the carb will siphon fuel up out of the carb and back onto you.

I also would go with the top one, Way Cool!!!

Curtis $250 for fg and $550 for cf. Then you have to buy the airbox too. That's at least $100 through tuffpaw. The top one above is just $109 and the black one is $195. |

I wouldn't use that edelbrock pro flow or whatever they call em now. They have a thin foam filter like thingy in them and I seen a guys car back fire one time and melted that crap all over the carb...been a long time ago but turned me off of those things.

If it were me i'd go with a butterfly scoop, throw away the elements and hook the linkage 1 to 1 on the buterflys.
RPC is the source for these and can be bought for about $150.00 plus shipping if you have a source which i can hook you up with. Here's the pics. of their scoops. Of course they have a million other pretty good items also, if you have adobi reader you can look at their cattalog. http://www.racingpowercompany.com/in...8e8973de8102b9 JMO Zip. |

i personally like the 2nd one but the first one would probably look the best on that car!!

Thanks for all the opinions. I bought this one yesterday off of a guy on RJ.

That sorta reminds me of a post I read on here somewhere that was talking about Ron's toilet injection. Some smart alleck said they tried to run a toilet on their car but the lid wouldn't stay open all the time and it sloshed water all over the motor when he hit the brakes...lol |

You never said what the application is and I see that no one asked. That should be first concern.
By the pics you supplied it looks to be a car used in Brackets? If so that is a killer scoop design that originated in Can-Am style racing and has sucessfully been used in class racing and does makepower. The ones you posted pics of at first are essentially a no-brainer opening for a carb to sit under that complies with rules and people buy them. Ed |
Yep, just a bracket car. Thanks for the info.

a FRIEND OF MINE RUN'S A ALTERED [MOPAR] OF COURSE AND JUST USES A MOROSO 14 INCH AIRCLEANER.
