the slot is to close to the radiator anyway, you only be sucking in hot air

I don't think the slot would provide significant airflow personally. I'd look for a set-up similar to what the 'Vette-guys have from VaraRam. They get like 3-tenths in the 1320' with that ram air set-up and think there may be a chance of something similar for us. Time will tell

Rotate the throttle body main inlet 90 degrees (straight up.) Add 4th gen type filter with a soft-seal on the outer edge, add plumbing from front underside of hood to the cowl, (where it would meet filter with hood down,) VOILA! Cowl induction. [edit] Or if you'd prefer ram-air, modify the hood so the mail slot is on the hood directly in front of the new filter position mentioned.

it is strictly a visual design feature. the slot is positioned directly in front of the hood latch. this is not possible as already discussed on a different thread.

1. There is a structural support right behind the slot so your idea would not fit.
2. There is no such thing as ram air. |

A carburetor venturi is ram-air, the SR71 Blackbird uses ram-air. I believe the F22 is also using ram-air to go supersonic without afterburner.

Hmmm .. I'm pretty sure that the fart out of a RAM can be called Ram Air !! Crowley

I think that the main slot needs to be a bit taller before it could ever really be functional as a scoop. An extra 1/2 in might be all thats needed. Then there is the whole issue of not having any room behind it to put any plumbing.
But if you open it up it might do a bit to help keep the engine cool.

An F22 and a Blackbird can go fast enough to see a pressure change and a ram effect, a car cannot. Reading that it can on wikipedia is about as much use as asking someone on the street since it is written by whoever thinks they know what they are talking about.

My original idea is intended to bring cool air to the airbox more than charge it and cause a pressure increase
