Silly question no.1:

Why does the scoop face away from the direction of travel, surely you get less air into the engine that way????

Nice motor by the way

It uses cowl induction - the high air pressure at the cowl delivers almost as much air as a front-facing scoop, but you don't get as much debris in it, the hood doesn't behave like a parachute at speed, and compared to a flat-to-the-hood scoop the air is always cooler.

I think that covers it

Looks like you're making good progress with the car - hope to see it out and about at some point this year!

Good answer James,i was amazed to learn that a big block motor like a Hemi or 440 can consume as much air in 5 to 10 minutes as a human would breath in an entire lifetime

Yeah, put your hand behind the exhaust of a big cube car at idle to get an idea of how much air they shift!

That was my car of the Nats a few years ago when Dean first bought it out to play.That car was also the one responsible for me getting Flowmasters on mine..
