rmaier, to attain your goal of introducing large CFM's of cold outside air into your superchargers intake, you would first need to use a scoop that sits "above" the layer of "dead air" that envelopes the entire car as it passes through the atmosphere.

To do so, you would need to use either a scoop like the 1969 Roadrunner/Superbee 440 six-pac cars used, or place the scoop at the front leading edge of the hood like the early 70's formula Firebirds used. Or simply enjoy the benefits of your current CAI's mounted behind the grill. Which offer a much smoother flow of air through their 3" 'diameter tubes as it gently curves into the intake.
If you are concerned with heat soak, simply apply "Header Insulation Tape Wrap" around your existing intake tubes. If that doesn't cool the air down enough, look for "Gold" foil to wrap over the header tape. Nothing repels heat as well as gold foil.
The scoops that came from the factories on most every musclecar were actually much more cosmetic than anything else. They did alow the engine to naturally inhale outside cold air, but because they were built so low on the hood skin, no actual air was being forced into the scoop.
I first experimented with a scoop (just like the one I installed on my Crossfire) on a car that I drag
raced all the time, 42 years ago. Without making any other changes, I made a pass down the strip with the scoop open vs making a run with the scoop closed, and thanks to the consistency of my car, there was no improvement in my ET's what so ever. If I thought for one minute the scoop that I've had on my Crossfire for nearly 5 years now would improve its performance one bit just by making it functional I'd open it up tomorrow.
If you still want to add the scoop to your car simply because you like the way it looks, I'd say go for it, because you are the only one that you have to please.
All I can tell you is that I've never regreted changing my hood in any way. I attend as many GTG's as I can, and dozens upon dozens of forum members (from all over the U.S. Canada) have told me they love the way my car looks. But many have told me that for some reason it looks so much better in person. I guess it just doesn't photograph well, because I agree, it seems to come across much better sitting right in front of you.
I certainly don't expect EVERY Crossfire enthusiasts to like it, there are several mods others have made that I'm not really fond of either, but I respect their right to make their cars their own, because essentially that's what it's all about, isn't it?
My biggest moment of pride occured when the Creator (Eric Stoddard) used my "scoop" design theme on one of his whimzical sketches of what a new Crossfire might look like today in his thread https://www.crossfireforum.org/forum...ire-2-0-a.html I felt validated.
