I've been reading threads on ways to lower intake temps. I'm not quite ready to dive into the ac compressor solution offered (yet). But, I have seen the ADM Scoop to help get more cool air into the cold air intake (I have a Roto-Fab, BTW). I've read a lot about the ADM Scoop on NA cars, but haven't seen (or been able to find) any tangible results from supercharged cars, so that's why I'm asking here.
Do you all think the ADM Scoop would be worth putting in a supercharged car to help with intake temps.?
Also, I'm looking at getting a hood that might help lower engine bay temps. like the RKSport extractor hood. http://www.rksport.com/main/part_det...mdid=1&catid=4
Do you knowledgeable folks think this would help my rwhp?
Thanks. |
Yes, I have it. Ted thought it was worth while to install on my car last year. As for hard data, that'll require an email to Ted. I don't have for you, sorry.
