Yes that is a positive note! he he he well if I ran 25-26psi like ST did on his dyno run, I would have slighty more power on the 10HP per 1psi principle. I am not sure I want to do a glory run! Not until I get some kind of water injection installed ayways so I can maintain pump gas and some decent timing...

Nice to see this valuable resource pulled up from the nose-dive.
Now let's see your different versions!
Carbon Fiber?
Top of the box?
Hinge for the top of the box?
Locking slots for the top?
Where is the air being pulled from?
Anyone try the template yet
Name for this DIY masterpiece?

CF is a good option for sure! I think I can use the hex screw thingy holding the fender on to fix the top of the "box" into to place. And then use the same type seal I have on the top of the existing partition to seal against the expansion tank and the headlight. I forgot to mention this earlier, the top seal has metal clips moulded into the design, so it stays on very firm, no need for glue etc. This would get much closer to a positive air pressure environment then. If the AC has been deleted, there is a great opportunity just below the filter to vent in some cool air with some flexible hose and a sealing piece of fibreglass around the rest of the area.
Lets name it now so I dont get "about your maf trap thingy" PM's anymore! So it looks like a dino head? Ummmm "Cool-Rex"? Ideas?

Names...
Ok so I decided to abandon the Dino thing. I still think it has characteristics, but it needs to be a name that is easy to remember. So...

Cool Air Wall (CAW)
