Totally agreed. Best to spend your performance bucks elsewhere.

I think it would only work if fresh air was being introduced from
elsewhere. The Cobra pan works because the carb is sealed against the
underside of
the hood, and 100% of the engine's air intake is coming through that hood
scoop, from outside. On a Pantera, a cold air box with side scoops
achieves
the same thing. But putting a setup such as you describe on a Pantera,
without any other modifications, wouldn't achieve a darn thing, because
the
engine would still be forced to breathe the air that's around it, and that
air
is flowing from underneath, past the floor of the apparatus, and then into
the engine.
Or so it seems to me....
