Hood scoop to big?

My buddies Charger, in progress, several years back. Car was built in my two stall garage. Turns out this much scoop was necessary.
Frankly, I liked the little one on my car better.
And for what its worth...... everytime I sealed the carb to the hood scoop, it slowed down. (Both cars, three different inductions).
