yeah that's what I was thinking. Scoop forcing air downward over the engine means better airflow over the oil cooler and out the fender vents. That said, I'm not sure it would actually work but it would make sense.

Airflow in that direction may interfere with the airflow through the radiator. You want air being pulled out of the engine bay, not going in.
