Looks great Pat. Have you had a chance to stab the throttle all the way to the floor? All hell breaks loose at 4000 rpms.

Pat, nice work I think you might have broken the code for me with RamJet. I might be able to do something similar? Not sure in my case how I might get cold air channeled to the intake system. Maybe off the back end of the first L-88 lip?? Or, build a hood chamber that channels the air around the sides of the high rise ram intake.

Geezz, hangin around here sure causes alot of work

Tell me about it Bullshark. Thanks to you, I am now sectioning and raising my L-88 hood similar to what you did. If it doesn't turn out too hideous, I will post pictures when I am done.

Pat, very clean execution. Please post pics when you get the scoop sorted out.

Pat, you did a LOT of nicer work, and improvements to my concept of 8 years ago, for that downflow cowl induction....

BB hood scoop, over a stock hood, and hole up front to meet air cleaner in a box.....rubber gasket...

mine is sorta crude looking by now, being street driven and largely neglected from a cruise night/show aspect....

but I working on some other crap now, sometime soon, I will take pix of the latest mods....
