Does anybody run one of these "bug catcher" scoops?

http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?autofilter=1&part=SUM-G3108-1&N=700+115&autoview=sku

I like the look but wonder how difficult it would be to hook up to my stock Q-Jet (which I'll be upgrading this summer to an undetermined Edelbrock/Holley unit). Any idea how difficult it is to cut a stock '78 hood? Thanks!

Tom, Doing the Mod to your hood would be the hardest part to the install. AND ~~~ That's a piece of cake, A small grinder with a cut off blade will do the job. Mark out the Hood, and go s l o w . Then obtain somthing to trim the opening with, rubber fuel, or wipper hose does good. Cut it down the center, slip it over the edge, DONE, GOOD TO GO.

Larry, the supercharger on those pictures you posted looks insane! Do you have any higher resolution pictures? Thanks!
