It's called cowl induction. Works well, and has for years.

Hood scoops are mostly mostly cosmetic, but, when done right, they do work... <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

Right, duh, that was my point - there's a high pressure region at the base of the windshield, but the center of the hood is a low pressure area. If you want to use a forward-facing hoodscoop in the middle of the hood, you have to lift it way up above the hood - ala pro stock. The original GTO scoop was purely cosmetic.
