I'd luv to see the voretx flow study on that v induction and stock. Obviously the air might be cooler from the ram, but 80mph ram air, 2x90* mobius over 3ish feet travel must have its problems...rams wud seem most effective for NA overhead carbs.....OF COURSE IT REALLY DOES LOOK COOL!

The hood has drain holes and I have one in my Air Box.

I'm not shure yet I will have to do some more data loggin but it appears to have givin me .5 to .7 psi more boost on the top end (100mph +) and the Blower sounds louder and deeper than before.

I'm toyin with putting a bumper or fender well scoop on together with cowl induction. The induction wud mainly serve to lower underhood temps. I gamble that those little vents on top are as useful as the scoop. Underhood temps rob as much HP as anything else.
ALL THAT SAID URS STILL LOOKS MEAN

That looks sweet, wish my steel hood was functional like that. I cut it out so it will help with under hood temps, but would be cool to have a set up like yours.

Nice!

Yeah now that you mention it you can see the 4 drain holes in the hood picture.

That is a sweet set-up. And nicely done too. Could you take a picture of the top of the hood because I noticed you also have some heat extractor vents but it's hard to see them from the angle of the pics!
