Re: Phase 2: Looking for 380 N/A whp.

Nevermind, I found your flikr! So, what type of power gains do you feel were gained from the shortened intake with cold/forced induction. I am considering a setup within a housing mounted on top of the hood of my svx. I happen to have an extra hood lying around to play with (whole extra car actually). Figuring out where the maf will go is obviously my biggest problem, but I have a few ideas.

I plan on at least cleaning my donor cars intake manifold and maybe doing sone home brew port/polishing to go alobg with the intake. I currently have the stock intake until the filter box, inside the fender I have an extended intake tube sticking through the bottom thin pkastic part of the fender for cold/forced air. I have a tendnecy to pick up a ton or dirt and rocks down there though and once caught it on a puppy (which was somehow just fine!) Going 30mph to have it jack up the bottom of the fender (again, very thin plastic). Anyways, I always liked a good hood scoop, worth it in your opinion?
