Air Induction

[Jim Grande]

I have run my Super Stock 69 Camaro with cowl scoop open and closed.
No difference!

I have tried it in a 82 z/28 hood with the flaps,,, no gain,,, I would't waste your money, just saying

I found one pretty cheap, I will restore it and try it, if it doesn't work I will sell it, they are hard to find.

NOT a hood scoop, but cold air cleaner housing to fender tubes to the front on a Fox Body car. Fresh air instead of hot air under the hood. It was worthy in this part of the country in August.

Don, my 85 5.0 carbed Mustang also had the ducting from behind the bumper to the inner fenders, but I tried back to back testing with the factory dual snorkle air cleaner with the plastic flex tubes connecting the fender ducts to the air cleaner snorkles, with and without a K&N filter inside, and basically it ran the same with or without the air cleaner housing on, or just letting the ducts blow the air all around the engine compartment. Maybe that huge aluminum air cleaner assembly trapped enough engine heat between the intake manifold and carb, to offset any benefit of potentially cooler air going into that "oven".

Well Rory mine runs just a little harder than your stuff in worse air in D-5 compared to the west or east coast. 3500-4500` air conditions here in July & August. Just have to keep trying stuff. I know a SS car that put his cold air on and picked the car up. What you should see is in the 330 times........

Its ugly but if it works for a couple hun I can live with it. I did remove the snorkel.

I did some testing today at Heartland Park Topeka, not a good day to test but did get my clutch dialed in. A steady head wind 19MPH gusting to 26. fastest run 11.746 @ 112.54 made 6 runs, slowest 11.82 @110.85, last run of the day with the air induction air cleaner 11.772 @ 111.98 with 22 MPH head wind, and there was no starting line prep, bunch of street cars tracking water to the line all day. May have to try the cowl induction again Thursday in Noble Ok.
