I know this system is a little different than the ones being discussed, but here is a link to a Spectre system that Larry Finch put on his car. Larry's Spectre System
I understand what Larry was trying to do, and Spectre does offer some alternatives BUT this is not a cold air system Larry has built. Just the opposite.
I still say, just open the rear windows to atmosphere and leave it ductless. That alone will lower intake air temps.
The air pressure on the bottom of the car seems to be greater than what can come in from the side windows. There is also a lot more open area on the bottom of the car. I believe that without a sealed air box and ductwork to the side windows, the engine will only pull air in from under the car. I ordered my air box from Spectre today and the side scoops will be installed on the car soon. I will use the Spectre flexable ducting to hook everything up. When the car is running again, I will get some inlet air temperatures from the ECU and compare them to ambient temperature. I think the temperatures are going to be very close if not the same.
