Actually, unchannelled airflow into the engine bay via a scoop could make the engine run hotter, as it will decrease the pressure differential across the radiator, resulting in less airflow/cooling of the engine coolant.

You need a sealed duct system from the hood opening to the airbox.




I never thought about that...
Is this true and verified or just theory?




Ask Terry Haines.

Ok AFTER A HUGE MESS...

Ok so we painted the scoop UA black...
then we clear coated it with a new clear coat...
then my buddy got a little impatciant....
THEN IT RAN....
then i hod louvers...aka paint runs.
2 hrs of sanding.... and the runs appears removed
another coat of clear
the runs are back
2 days to fully dry
3 hrs of sanding to remove the clear coat runs...
1 last coat od clear

NOW im ready to wet sand agian, there are no runs in it now, all i have to do it polish and install ill post pics as soon as im done.

I have to say what a nightmare this was
