Mach 1 Intake Flow Comparison

If I were to raise it up using the PHP intake spacer or 2, like GaPonyFarm said, it would actually work. I've seen this problem before, my 69 Buick is a Ram Air car, but the inlets are to low to be effective because the wind really doesn't flow in that area. But if you were to raise the scoop itself maybe an inch, you should see noticable gains from rammed induction. If I remember corectly, you'd have to have the scoop at least 1.75 inches above the seated surface (hood) to have any sort of functionality. 3" tall scoops on Stage 2 Buicks (VERY RARE, only 75) were functional as well as Mailbox hoodscoops on 442 (but they were seated closer to the front withless wind lift). I just thought it would be cool to utilize the ram air, but it seems for right now it needs a little more aftermarket research and products to be a huge HP addition. But they still look dead sexy.
