but you are just putting it on there to get more Air to your valve cover...

only difference is, we looked into where we could mount it with the "support beams" and in the end decided it was a bad idea, before we posted on the org, and asked OTHERS opinions, as it doesn't matter our opinions, it is up to you...

Well that one Im just gonna tape on if you guys are saying it wont help performance.

This is rughly what it would look like

Scoop

When the original Shelby Cobra came out, the race versions had the scoop facing to the rear, it worked better that way. The street versions had it facing front, for looks only.

Nah theres a ratio, once you start having too much air flowing in it stops making a difference.
