RE: hood scoop
that was my next questions if water got in the engine bay. How are the gt hood scoopes set up? is their any kind of preformance gains from doing this. i mean if if keeps the engine cooler and can see a noticable difference i would do it if not its not that big of a deal.

RE: hood scoop
haha well if that is the case i wont do it. I mean if it helps with cooling and helping the engine run better maybe but if nothing big ill leave it alone and keep modding. I was jsut looking a eazy inexpensive way to make the engine run a little better

RE: hood scoop
it wouldnt give you any performance gains, but it would maybe help your engine from overheating.
notice i said help, not prevent.
you could pull a macgyver and fabricate a duct that goes from the scoop opening into a hole in the air box kinda like the mach 1 shaker setup.
