I've performed CFD analysis on several scoop designs. Many with marginal results.

If you send me the details of the scoop, its position relative to the body/cage and let me know which scoop tray and carburetor you're using, I may be able to offer some feedback.

There are many concerns that exist here. It's likely a few scoop designs can cost in excess of 40 usable horsepower. The concerns with pressure and velocity begin externally and are exacerbated at the point of carburetor entry.

You can send a PM if you like.

I can provide information on the proper air filter choice as well.
