Ok, thanks for the input. Yes, what I meant was somehow routing the air intake through the hood, a la weiand high rise, with the scoop-intake sticking out. it would be purely cosmetic, but if it detracts from performance, I dont want it. I'm going to pull the motor and redo it anyway, it's full of crapola. I just hadn't decided HOW to redo it yet. Is the blower the factory aluminum tubing from the top of the supercharger to the intercooler? Thats not what I had pictured as a blower, I was thinking of the intake scoop sticking out of the hood on funny cars. Sorry if I misspoke and sounded like an idiot. It was late and I was tired. But I really want to do this right. I've got a better than laymans' knowledge of cars and engines, but college was 18 years ago. I didn't follow that career path, and I'm a little rusty.(Ha Ha!) It sounds like my idea is more work than benefit. Thanks again, I'll be back.
