Try riding in a stock Camaro with the rear hood seal removed. The heat blast and engine fumes from the HVAC vents will quickly change any thoughts on modifying the cowl. A bigger more powerfull supercharged engine with more heat would magnify the problem. It will be like riding in an oven. Works for the COPO, because of no HVAC or wipers. The procharger idea will look pretty good soon. |

There is a guy around here that was running a 4.0 Kenne Bell. Considering that they are close to the same size look and see what his issues were... I will try to find the thread. Edit Sorry he was running a LSX 454 3.6 L Kenne Bell Supercharger. He had no issues. http://camaro5.com/forums/showthread...hlight=lsx+454 |

does the fastest camaro to date run pump gas? you know that running race gas and or meth makes a huge difference to how much power you can make and how hot/cold the IAT's get. sucking air right above the exhaust manifolds sounds like a very wise idea

Run an alternate fuel cell for the race gas, and pump gas tune for regular driving. It will be a lot simpler if you do something like that. The hot air that a procharger pulls in still results in lower IATs than a maxed roots type.

That is an uneducated comment. No offense. But really. A centri through a front mount will have cooler IAT's than that whipple 4.0.

Don't look at the intake location as a Downfall for the procharger. Iats Are only 10-15 degrees above Ambient. Roots type blower can do that, but not under boost or even spinning the hell out of it like you will be.
I'd be putting an f1 or f2 procharger or vortech ysi before I'd go whipple. |

The old cowl inductions for street cars like a '70 Chevelle were to let air in the engine intake, but they still sealed off the back of the hood. Race cars open up the back of the cowl, but they have no HVAC inlet. There is a reason the ZL1 has the hood opening up front, and the back is sealed. |
