How tell you what scoop camshaft means!

When it comes to air scoop / scoop you are right hereAn air scoop / scoop is an opening on the bonnet; an air scoop / scoop can also be attached to another point such as the roof. The purpose of the scoop is to direct the airstream into the interior of the car, the engine compartment etc. while driving. The entry of airstream can increase the engine power because the engine has more fresh air to breathe. The scoop is particularly popular in the tuning scene as it also fulfills an optical aspect. An air scoop makes the car look more powerful and the thought that a powerful engine sits under the hood occurs to many. Air scoops / scoops are made of plastic, metal, carbon and other materials. But there are also variants that do not sit “on” the hood but are integrated “into” the hood. Terms / designations for the type of air inlets are: Hood eyes (eg the small round air openings in the bonnet of the BMW E92 M3), air vents, Air inlet gills, ventilation inlet, hood ventilation, Air Vent - Airvents, Channels, GTR air inlets, They should all ensure that the engine has more fresh air available.
