Default New bonnet scoop for ram air

hi everyone just thought i'd post up a couple of shots of my latest mod.





There is a hole cut underneath to direct cold air straight into the airbox,
which i am in the process of modding to meet the bonnet.

Hopefully it will illiminate any bogging and may give me a ram air effect at speed.

What do you reckon....lol

If you can make it seal to the air box, and not allow air into the engine compartment, then I think it would be great for power. However, you will need to figure out how you are going to allow water to quickly drain out of the air box without drilling too many large holes in the bottom of the box. You will also have to clear debris from the box more often, since it will collect "stuff" much, much quicker.

However, I don't think I'm a fan of how it looks.

This will also do absolutely nothing. Put it in a wind tunnel and watch all that air go right over that scoop as it's too low.

would have looked better with a Naca duct for looks and function, but the work looks top notch
