Is that cowl functional? Ie..will it bring air past the blower and out the rear? Hopefully so. Maybe add a slot in the front to allow for more air. I

I'm sure it's very likely been thought of already, but if the hood has to be replaced, a design that allows as much cooling/heat extraction as possible would be very welcome.

Based on the initial rendering pics, are you trying to have the throttles in the OEM location?

That is correct. The idea is to give you guys the option to run your current cold air intake kits.

Not holding you to anything RJ MFG,
Have you guy's calculated an estimated HP/TQ potential on 93 octane fuel?
And on a stock block vs. a built bottom end?
This is all pending our AT's & Stick Trannys are built to hold...including a free flowing exhaust & cai.
I plan to be at Zdayz this year & this kit is sounding more inviting daily!

91 octane is the highest I can get locally, and no e85. Thinking I'll likely need a methanol injection kit. Or race gas. But I can only imagine how expensive that would be, considering that 91 octane here is roughly about $4.50/gallon in US currency.

If I wasn't planning on getting rid of the TTz within the year and boosting a Z06, I would be all over this! Keep up the great work!

Laminova cores? Nice! They're very compact and efficient. This is looking like a very well designed kit.

I think you guys said a dual (triple?) pass heat exchanger would be used? Any details on the water pump or on options for a temp gauge?

BTW: To anyone living in a region that rarely drops below freezing (e.g., FL), you can run this with straight water all year round. It should keep temps nice and cool. Otherwise, you'll need a mix, as with the engine radiator.

I ran an overdriven roots blower that was really pushing the limits of efficiency with an A2W set up, and temps were not greatly above ambient. Maybe 10 - 20 degrees at worst after beating up on it on a dyno. It would cool right back down too as the water cycled.

For the Heat Exchanger, you will want to make sure there isn't a lot of openings around the edges of it -- air will tend to duck around rather than pass through it as you would want if there are any openings on the sides. Otherwise, should work really, really well.

I believe the hood bulge can just be a bulge -- the real cooling is all done by the heat exchanger. A vent to draw heat soak of the SC itself certainly won't hurt, but the IC cores, water pump, and HE are the critical items for keeping things nice and cool.

I really miss the evil whine of a PD SC -- and the near instant torque

This should make the Z feel like it has a V8.
