It wouldn't help much to make the factory '02 GT hood scoop functional (like the one in my sig). There is no high pressure air at the location where the hole would be... The only real spots to get good high pressure "ram" air is at the base of the hood by the windshield (cowl induction) like a Cobra. Or at the leading edge of the hood like some older classic musclecars used to do. Or if you wanna go extreme, you need to raise the scoop up about at least a foot & have a forward facing hole, like a snorkle scoop on a Pro Stock car.

I don't expect it to give horsepower where you can feel it... but it should slow heat soak, which after several runs at the track, it wouldn't be as hot, giving back a few ponies. The scoop flying off would suck though.
Code, what do you think about the idea?

RE: 02 gt hood
cutting a hole in your stock hood scoop isnt going to anything but cause trouble. That little extra air going in isnt going to do anything. The only way to have a functional hood scoop is to buy the hood scoop that the mach1 uses. I would spend my money elsewhere...
