Can someone on this web site tell me how much horse power you get when you add a "six pack or Hemi" style hood scoop, or any hood scoop, to a Mopar car? No matter what the discussion concerning a rule it always leads to a scoop on a Mopar car.

I have one on a 1972 Plymouth Duster and I swear I don't think it is good .001 second in et at any track. If someone knows different please tell me. I am building a new motor and was in this same type of discussion with racers. For fun I mention using domed pistons aftermarket crankshaft in the discussion and got to the scoop on the hood and "oh no you can't run that scoop on that hood." Didn't say anything about what I said about the engine.

As long as we are on the subject can I run a shaker hood on my 1970 Barracuda with a 383 4 barrel combo?

Maybe you should check with Dean Roberts since he is so correct and perfect !

Dave Bortman ran a shaker set up with a 383 on his 1970 Rod Shop Challenger, and did quite well in SS/JA.

I believe Boertman's car was a 71 383 with the small Holley carb???? Mine was a 71 383 and it had a shaker hood and "scoop-ayyy" on it. I ordered it new in the early spring of 71 just for racing. No other options other than the hood, an automatic, tinted glass, and posi rear. NHRA probably allows them on the 70 383 model as the street Hemi 'Cudas had them. NHRA seems to allow "scoop-e's" on everything else.

Phillip, You can run the shaker hood on a 1970 Cuda with the 340, 4 barrel, the 383, 4 barrel, the 440 six-barrel, and the 426 hemi. I hope that helps.

On the Cuda yes, Although they only came on Six Packs and Hemis. But can I claim the car as a 383 Barracuda and use the shaker. ?

[Larry Hill]

Phillip, If you will look at the engine specs. for thr 1971 Chrysler you will see it list two diferent carbs for the 383/ 300 hp. its under note 4. I think its a 6191 list for auto 4668 list for the stick. The 340 even had a shaker along with the 1970 440/ 370. Hope this helps.

Thanks Larry, My question is regarding a 1970 Barracuda not a 1971 Cuda though.

P.S I finally bought some new radial slicks for the Coronet but they didn't help although it is going thru the traps with more RPM now, Enough to get back into valve float again.aaarrrggghhhhh!
