[QUOTE=WormGod;131113]John summed that up well.

Even with a forward scoop, without proper channeling of the air once it enters at speed, it does you no good.It's just cooler (than engine bay) air that is being forced in and then heated up with the rest of the air, with no use.

What you need is to get that forced in air to the intake (whatever option you use - CAI, airbox, etc). Getting the air there before it is warmed is ideal.

A forward scoop with a hole in the hood has 2 uses a few uses:

- lets cooler, fresher air in at speed.... but this new air is basically useless to you (must be captured and directed to the right area)

- well, it looks kinda neat, right?

Hey guys there's something that always wonder in my mind ....

If you mod the hood to add a functional scoop to the intake how do you avoid water getting into the intake ?

Sorry,it sounds dummy & i do admited
