The position of the scoop will likely not be in the direct air flow. As I understand it you would need to get about 4-6 inches above the roof line to do that. You just wont likely achieve positive preassure in the air box (poor mans forced induction). It requires an awful lot of positive preassure to exceed the vacum from the engines intake. Still, you will get cool/clean air for the engine to draw from none the less. That alone is worth noteable hp.

From what I can tell I don't think the roof scoop is there to go straight to engine induction, more engine bay cooling.
Ben's on the money, the roof scoop is for engine bay cooling, not for induction.
As mentioned earlier the roof scoop can also be tapped into using aircraft vents for cockpit cooling. The aircraft vents are obviously roof mounted.
Hope that helps clarify things.
