Stock scoop on my car. I'm running a Victor single plane with the carb platform cut down 1/2 inch, air cleaner base is 9 inch flat base, K&N 2.75 filter and K&N extreme top....

For predominantly street-driven cars, the real benefit of a Turkey Pan is that it seems to eliminate heat soak percolation, which can be a real PITA on these cars. My car starts fine even when really hot, in 100+ degree temps, and after sitting in the sun.

I have a question:
My experience is that air is coming out of the scoop at about 40 mph. My old SPF backfired and smoke came OUT of the scoop. Doesn't this mean that air is coming out? Seems like the seal of a TP would HAVE to be pretty solid to work as designed.
But as gsharapa said, it's pretty awesome looking.

Surely you remember those Chevelles with the little door that opened up in front of the windshield on the scoop that was backwards? But regardless of whether it works better or not, a backwards hood scoop looks dumb.  |

Not running a turkey pan - So does mine. Seems to me for any effect, you have to be moving. JMO

A lot of us route that duct work in to the top of the foot boxes for a little fresh air down in the footsie area. |

Here is a photo of cold air intake duct work I put on a supercharged 4.6 I started a carb top for duct work but never finished. Richard and I have often discussed the hood scoop and airflow situation.

Hi Larry,
How's your snow blower running? Mark my words, the start of the next ice age has begun! Where do you stand on the "turkey pan" question? Hey, while you're here - seeing how the JBL Comp Chassis wheelbase is 94.3", how long would you make your sidepipes so they end neatly at the rear wheel well  |

running a 14" air cleaner and just changing the base from a drop to mid height changes the a/f ratio. bit more sensitive then i would have believed.
btw, i can still fit a normal scoop if desired and the jbl large scoop allows a 12" x 2 air cleaner if i remember right, i'd have to check to be sure.

I've been looking at the K&N XStream assemblies, looks like that one will flow a lot of air. I've also been looking to see if anyone is making a micro-screen filter like in some oil filter applications http://www.kandpengineering.com/tech...ghlights.shtml I imagine a micro-screen type would give the best possible flow, seems to be the least restrictive of any filtering element out there - I wouldn't recommend in dusty environments. I do intend to use the K&P replacement for the Moroso on my motor. |
