May I ask why you want to open the scoop up?

Because I want to. Why did Pontiac choose to sell a version that was open. To feed the carb cold air.

You do know that there is more to it than just opening the scoop, don't you? I do not mean to sound offensive or anything, I bought an open hood scoop with the same intent until I learned what else had to be done to get the ram air. I didn't feel comfortable cutting the bracing out of the hood so I ditched the idea.
