air intakes

[cuznjohn]

i looked and can't find anything about what i am thinking on the site. now being new to spyders and having just ordered the adjustable front air wings, has anyone ever tried installing a air scoop on the air intakes just under the mirrors on a rt. i was wondering if we could install one facing forward and one facing backwards if that would help eliminate heat from the engine and from under the Tupperware.

what do you folks think, would it work and has anyone ever tried it b4

Any sort of "hood scoop" that you would mount over those intakes would interfere with your new adjustable air delfectors... pps:

Lots of folks did this on the earlier RS models to improve the air flow.
(just look at Lamont's early RS...


The Vertika's seem to be the only aftermarket solution (but very pricey!) for RT's so far but a little innovation with some boat vents could be interesting..

I have been experimenting with a small bilge blower to cut down on Hot Soak and it works like a charm, see pics below..

Does anyone know how I can find a couple scoops like the ones on those two RS machines?
