My duct for now is going into the engine bay so the air in the bay will influence the flow too.


My testing was going into a sealed air box from one of the side scoops. It would have been nice to had air speed, but we used pressure, which was positive up to 120 mph. I would have taken the car up to 140 mph, but there was some traffic on the road which prevented me from doing that. The speed is accurate because I have an electronic speedometer and it matches the speed when checked against a GPS.

You may find that your air speed will be less than the air speed on the side of the car when you have the side scoop exposed to all of the air from the engine bay.
