Carburetor scoops do they make a difference?

spl440, you have any before/after performance numbers? I'm curious how effective cowl setup like yours is compared to the more common dual snorkel or hemi scoop. Cause I don't like the dual snorkel look on dusters, and the hemi scoop is a bit overboard so a streeter. I love the current raisin bran scoops on my car but they're non-functioning. I'm trying to decide if I want to fab something up for them, or something similar to your cow setup.

I do not drag race, I road race and a daily driver in good weather. On the street and the road course my set up is mostly for cold air, but it does have some ram air effect, just not enough to be a big factor. I noticed a BIG difference in drive ability and seat of the pants performance improvements as soon as I did the cowl induction. Smoother running, especially in city traffic with the a/c on.
