I'm no expert on hood scoops but I think that front carburetors going to be really pissed off with that scoop Jack. I think carb way too close to the opening of the scoop. All the information that I've gotten from extremely good sources tells me that your scoop does not have enough internal area and the opening is far too big. You only want the opening large enough so the pressure within the scoop does not go negative when leaving the starting line or just barely negative.
I think with that larger opening and that close to the front carburetor that the air is going to buffet and play havoc on the air bleeds and bowl vents of that front carburetor. Again I'm no expert on the subject.
