Classic Bonnet Scoop Advice
Hi all,
I currently have what is just about the biggest bonnet scoop fitted to my classic.
Although I quite like this, now my car has upped it's power to mid 400s, I find when driving hard the vent & bonnet shake around more than I would like.
I feel it time for a change, but should I go for an RCM style reverse scoop or a standard classic one. I want it look good, but keep under bonnet temps low.
Advice & recommendations with any pictures appreciated.
Thanks, Richard.

If you are running FMIC I would go with reverse vent,which will have less drag,but can be inefficient when comes to cooling
We are run scopless bonnet for few months and we are never seen high underbonnet temps or higher than usual like under load or just cruising

LOL. It is massive, it was OK at standard power, but now when I floor it I feel like I'm about to take off & the bonnet shakes. It is one of three imported from Japan in the nineties, apparently they used them on rally cars to keep under bonnet temps low. It will be for sale soon, but I know it's not to evryones taste.

Went with the reverse scoop & 22B vents in the end from HT Autos. Have just had the car back from the body shop, also had it de stickered at the same time & a few other bits tidied up, very pleased with the results.
