how is a forward facing hood scope set up.
also what is the reason for having a reverse scope?

im sure that i will be having a clearence issue seeing that the performer sit's up a little higher then the stock one that was on there, and the space plate is almost twice the size of the egr plate. adding this to the holley 600 and the little triangle POS air cleaner that i have im sure something willbe hitting the hood when closed.
so i was thinking since the chassie itself is just a beater body for the most part and the hood is all dented up i might as well just cut a hole in the hood and put on a cheap little scope.

but how would a forward facing scope work while driving in the rain?
and whats the purpose of it being reversed if its not bringing in air?
