Tapered Front Hood Scoop Long 5-1/2in

The Tapered Front Hood Scoop Long 5-1/2in from ALLSTAR PERFORMANCE is engineered for serious engine builders and street machine enthusiasts who demand functional air intake solutions with aggressive styling. This hood scoop is designed to force cool, dense air directly into your intake manifold, improving throttle response and volumetric efficiency—especially critical for carbureted engines, supercharged builds, and high-performance naturally aspirated platforms. Whether you're building a classic hot rod, restomod, or modern muscle car, this scoop delivers both form and function in one bolt-on package.

Constructed from durable plastic with a carbon fiber appearance finish, the tapered front hood scoop features offset sides that channel ram-air flow efficiently while conforming to most hood profiles without major fabrication. The 5.5-inch height provides substantial air column depth, allowing you to source larger diameter intake tubes and maximize velocity head pressure when coupled with a quality air filter assembly. Its tapered design reduces turbulence and pressure loss compared to straight-wall scoops, while the carbon fiber look aesthetic integrates seamlessly into modern custom builds and retro restorations alike. At just 3 lbs, the lightweight construction minimizes hood load and won't require reinforcement brackets on most vehicles.

This scoop suits single four-barrel carburetor setups, tunnel ram manifolds, fuel-injected intake plenums, and intercooler ducting applications where ram-air advantage matters most. Installation is straightforward—measure your hood opening, confirm the 20.75-inch length and 6.25-inch width fit your existing hood configuration, and secure with supplied fasteners or adhesive backing. Experienced builders often pair this with a matching air intake tube, K&N or Holley filter, and carburetor spacer ring to unlock maximum intake velocity and throttle responsiveness on both street and strip duty.
