Re: Carb Air Scoop?
The trade off for an air scopes is increased horse power verses increased drag. At 80MPH or 7000 FPM the air velocity pressure is about 3 inches of water or 0.108 PSI. For a 10" x10" air scoop assume a Cd of 1 (WAG) that's about 11 pounds of force. Force times velocity equals horsepower, s...
