For what it's worth, I've always heard the shaker scoop on the TAs are too far forward to have any benefit from the low pressure area in front of the windshield. I'd be worried if your testing can show it's pulling air out of the scoop at high speeds.
Ya I'd always figured the scoop was way too far forward but wanted proof. Wouldn't surprise me if the scoop pulled air from the engine compartment at high speed right through the air cleaner assembly.
