I read somewhere that a guy had his air scoops hooked up to the drake duct and "scooped" water into the motor during a rain storm. Bend valves? motor damage, he said the brake scoop thing was a bad idea.

I figure this is a good enough cold air source for my car...

Yep, that's what happens when you hydrolock the engine. But, they make things to prevent that called bypass valves.

As far as I know, the air intake through the hood scoop only works when you have a turkey pan installed. Otherwise, if you pick up speed (>30 mi or so), the intake through the cooler and the bottom are much stronger and the air is pressed out of the scoop, instead of going in.

I'm thinking this may work great. Filters all the way to the front of the car at the brake cooling ducts.
the hood scoop would serve evacuate heat ouit of the engine bay, and this system would supply a nice cool and PLENTIFUL air charge. Probably could customize it to look good in a cobra!
I wil have to research this a little more anbd find out what it flow, 1 or 2 etc, etc.

I don't have fact one to back me up , but I would think one could get the tubes too long. I'm thinking there may be a optimal length. Kinda like running out of suck if you will.

I( called and got a lot of info Friday, the only only one that I believe is going to fit is the low profile 14" airbox, even that thing flows about 900!!!
I wish it had the 120 degree intakes though, I am not wild about the 180 deg inlets.
I am calling them again tomorrow to get a final tally on what I need, also more info

David:
I had considered a similar system, but had not actively pursued. In the Spectre news release:
" Better than a turkey pan these innovative kits bring the advantages of cold air induction to any enclosed engine, like a Cobra for example. In fact, for every 10 degrees F that the incoming air temperature is reduced, the engine will gain 1.5-2.0 percent in both torque and horsepower "
If you arrive at a configuration from Spectre, please post the part numbers etc., etc.,
.........thanks
