suggests and/or supports what others have said about minimizing the

need for big rear end spoilers and wings. 



As was suggested by others it takes less money to improve the

aerodynamics then it does to make dependable power. 



Currently I use both side intakes to ram air into the intake. . . What

do some of you think of the idea of using just one side intake to ram

air to the engine and using the other (or another air source to cool

the block and venting the air out the back of the decklid by adding

cooling/exhaust vents to the top of the deck lid? Any value added?
