Well,,,I made it myself,those are called NACA ducts,,yes it works,,i have almost finished the box area, ( where the efi's 13b air filter is located)

it's pretty much the same idea, but to my air filter canister...if you want

a lid scoop,, get another lid, send it to me,with the shipping paid, i'll make

it for $10.00,,unpainted,, it's made out of metal and fiberglass, and i can

change the shapes of the scoops too. My old hood has a large NACA duct

right above the carb. for cold air functionallity.
