I need to solve the problem of the supercharger intake being directly over the headers and sucking in all that hot air. I could go to the side and cut into my fenderwell (not sure if it'll fit around the strut tower) or I could go UP!
A functional hoodscoop would draw in cool air from the outside, and I was thinking of a possible secondary benefit.
At higher speeds, would that scoop build up pressure and help force feed the supercharger a little? I know that at 7,000 feet (here in colorado springs) superchargers lose 2-3 lbs of boost. Wouldn't that added ram air pressure bring it right back down to sea level or maybe even lower?
Like I said, I was just thinking, something I try not to do too often if I can help it, so if I'm way out there, smack me back down into reality.
