The RPi scoop is a very simple design, yet yielded pretty significant performance. I do feel that rush! However, can that be taken to another level by making the scoop even bigger? What kind of result will that yield?

I think there was a pic of a gigantic scoop installed on an E60 in the private classified section awhile back.
Anyway, if the scoop design was too large, how stable will it be with the wind blowing against it at 70 MPH+. I also think it does block some airflow going into the radiator if the size was too large.

Looks like RPi engineers had that in mind. If you look at it, the bottom has open slot to channel rain down and not in.

1st pic in the thread, would that size be big enough for your liking?
