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...
or
Or just run some sort of cool air cleaner.

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.

$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.
