Does he have the ram air going into the top of the SC? wouldn't that be a vac leak? I sent the guy this:
First of all - WHAT!?! Ok I have had a few supercoupes, and IF this was rebuilt by someone who knew anything about cars, WHY IS THERE A RAM AIR on this? If the car IS supercharged, there is already "forced induction". "ram air" won't do ANYTHING. Not to mention you can't even see the supercharger. What gives here?
