Ron, if my efforts here fail, I think I will go back to the "turkey baster".......I think those are good comments. This set up is pretty simple really. It weights about 10 pounds and there is no engine drag as nothing is connected to the engine as with the supercharger etc. I just dont have room for that stuff and am probably just too damn cheap short term to re do the hood, paint and get into the rest of the set up.

Did you have to modify your set up to accept the supercharger et al? What'd it run by the time you were done?

The fuel cooler is something I will need to look into. That sounds like a nice simple net positive as well. Maybe with the right placement I can kill two birds with one stone.

As far as clarification, I have at present clearance problems that leave me with a very awkward 2 inch paper air filter with a 1 3/4 inch drop down. So I am damn close to metal to metal inside the aircleaner. I just dont like that restriction. So I am intending to prefilter and blow chilled air, as condensed as I can get it, at 215 MPH straight into the air cleaner. at that point my 2 inch paper filter will be keeping cold air in instead of inhibiting the flow of outside air into the intake.......as I'd guess the paper filter is only 650 to 750 CFM.

If nothing else, it will be an inexpensive, fun experiment. Long as I dont blow something up in the process. At the end of the day, I'm running a normally aspirated 514 and want it to be breathing at least reasonably well......I'm not convinced my present set up achieves that.....
