As you can see, the air slipstream travels well above most cometically pleasing style scoops to actually allow any measurable increase in cfm.
Any functional scoop that sits only a few inches off the hoods surface would really just create an open pathway for cooler outside air to be vacuumed into the intake.
Not a bad thing, but not comparable to the increase you would receive from a well designed CAI like the one offered by NeedsWings.
