Yeah, I opened up the scoop on my '66, too. I always thought it was kinda silly for the GTO to be sold with a hood scoop that was for decoration only. For such a prominent styling element on the the car to be fake is a disappointment. By now we all know that the aerodynamics of the car don't lend themselves to any sort of "ram air" effect, but getting cold air into the carb in conjunction with a carb pan that is sealed to the underside of the hood is still a good thing.
