Sea level in the morning or less early season but generally can go over 2000 feet on a warm day. Not saying our combinations have been maxed out but much like a person trying to lose weight...  the first few pounds are the easiest. Gains (or losses) after that are hard to come by. A shaker scoop does provide some intake and maybe with the longer hood on a 69 Galaxie that's a benefit. Don't know unless you try is a truism for sure.

And while we're on this subject.... I hate an otherwise good looking cars/truck with a monster scoop that are no where near being fast enough to even need a scoop. I might get mad some day and put my original flat hood on for a weekend just to see if the car slows down. My guess is it won't be by much.

Hah! You think that's bad? How about 4-door, 4-cylinder ricers running around with trunk-mounted wings that would put any Formula One racecar to shame!
