I a few days I am going to put my rebuilt engine back in my '90 SC
and I just had this neat rerouting idea-
The IC tubes are aluminum, right? Not too expensive to fabricate new tubes. How about making the SC top outletface the front of the car, make a small tube bent upwards hooking to our normal intercooler above the supercharger and the back IC tube going practically straight down into the lower intake. Of, course you would need a larger cowl hood for the clearance of the top mounted intercooler. And to further cool down the air put ram air nostrils in the cowl hood (this would take the place of the electric fan we use by forcing cool outside air in)
make sense??
I think it would work. It could definatley physically be done. The ram air/cowl hood would give clearance and cool down the force air more, and the much shorter route would be more benefinical for more power.
