Melting Slicks
When I was running this setup I was doing a lot of HPD events, I was in the second fastest group where everyone is running on slicks. I passed a C6 that day with a natural aspirated 357 in my 6t8. I also think it helped keep the engine temp down consuming cold air, Never had any problem with overheating and were hitting speeds above 140 all the time, it was 85* that day. But then again a CTS just kicked my *** with his supercharged LS. Oh those were the days.T

Thank You very much for Your feedback! It seemed to be quiet functional then! You posted a link to the CAI that You ran.. Is that the exact one? They offer three types that look very indentical, Did You run it as delivered with the supplied tubing, or did You larger in diameter, I am sure it also depends breathing needs of the engine, i do rum a 383 with large valve heads and performer rpm intake, but i believe that Your engine is more agressive, so if it worked for You with the air volume that You got with this set up, then it should work for me too. Maybe You can reply Alex

It had 2 -4" snorkels, I thing the carb inlet size is 5 1/8" it's a 4150 series QF all parts were purchased individually, no kit that I'm aware of for C3 vettes and clamps needed to be fabbed up along with customizing the tubes themselves. T

I think I am goin for this one from Spectre... 4inch Tubing and 135 degree appart inlets, they also offer 120 degree and 180 degree angled inlets. The base is for a 3 x 14 inch air filter, so i should be even able to use my original GM open element 14 inch filter drop base, what is i am sure much better in quality... It should definetly draw cold air under speed driving conditions... what do you think? I still wonder what is the best angle for the inlets in the 71 engine bay, on the drivers side there is the alternator, and on the passenger side my a/c... 120° , 135° or 180° for the inlet stubs on the air filter housing

I really like the one as pictured^^ above... just curious as to how much difference it would make in actual temp.
If my engine runs a 195 most of the time and creeps to 210ish in traffic, would it increase enough flow to keep it at a constant 195?
What has been y'all's experience so far?

Yep
Several of the C7/ Jimmie Johnson ones around-
Denpo-
Punisher-
I am looking at doing something- but haven't made a decision yet...
Was looking at using C2 66 Big Block hood vents-
Rosslato -
Attachment 48123107
Here's some that are interesting-
11-14 Mustang- I know -WHO would put a Mustang part on their car???
OK- I like these - but off a Hyundai Genesis...no really-
Got the hood cut....
Looking at getting the hot air out up front-
Would like to get a hold of or make something like this to get the hot air out-

I love it when an old thread pops up in my email. Here is my new high rise hood with C7 vents.
Venting the hood eliminated high speed front lift (float) and makes your steering much more responsive.

Old school greenwood high rise hood the front intakes are fake and closed off but the vents at the top of the hood are real (Although I doubt they do a whole lot)

can you tell me the dimensions of the c7 vent? I'm trying to see if that vent will fit the hood right above serp pulleys but before air cleaner set up.
(here's another bump for your old thread!)
