But that opening at higher speeds is a really interesting idea...... Might use that idea instead, if you don't mind of course.
Sorry for the thread highjack....

I think you might have missed the point of the springs, they would keep the scoop UP so you wouldn't hit speedbumps!!!
Then they would allow the scoop to drop down as air pressure forced the scoop open, then the cable stops would limit the complete travel to a predetermined drop.
