    I could be interested also, although I've already invested in other options.

    Everyone is willing to cut a hole in their firewall to install this option? Not sure of the real performance gain.

    It would be cool to have an original kit but I don't think I would ever install it.

    The performance should be measurable at the track, with cool air coming from the cowl area instead of the hot engine bay. The diagram actually has a note on it stating to plug the stock A/C snorkel to keep out hot air.

    With no other changes, I gained about .5 in the 1/4 in cool fall air compared to mid summer heat. Cool = more power.

    Not sure I'd cut mine either, but I might buy anyway for later on...

    Well David when I ran the Great Scat it was worth .10 to .15. I'm also trying to make a firewall piece that would clean up the installation. I.m making one for my own car. Frank

    Now that I think about it the gain may be more than that from a later model GS hood since the '68 scoop is raised higher and is near the base of the windshield. This is just a guess :Do No:

    Frank,

    How many do you need sold to make a run of these?

    Around 30. I figure price will be 125-140.

    Should be a way to get more people going on this. Can the part be adapted to other GM "A" body cars?

    Without having to buy the entire run, I sure would like to find a way to make this work

    W ith the firewalls with basically the same relation to the aircleaner I would think they could be adapted at least 68-72. Frank

    Might get more visibility and response if you were to start a new post in one of the other sections. Just a suggestion. :TU:
