The scoop had the optimum square inch intake area and was good for 5-10 hp on the top end.
The Shaker is an awesome hood, but your not going to get that much functionality out of it. A real functional scoop need to be at least 5 to 8 inched higher than the hood to get any real air. Case in point,
This is actually a very good picture for comparison sake. '71 Challenger running the forward facing scoop(5 - 8 inches high...), while the Camaro is pulling air from the windshield/cowl area.. Both very effective, but hey, Its a Challenger and it kicks ass...
With that being said, I want my 09 Triple black Challenger running the Shaker!!!!
