[QUOTE=keirnna]Probably that you made some of the dumbest posts that any of us had ever seen.
what is so dumb about turning your scoop around cowl style and getting rid of the wing for less weight.

really minor things, as i didnt want to get to extreme with my daily driver. looks like u got the bases covered.

Hey MACH5WRX, my car is dyno tuned, Ecutek, you can get 20-40 hp @ wheels seen it done on dyno, turning scoop around does work because for the scoop to be funtional you have to be moving, yeah your moving down the track, but it only gets cool at the middle of the track to the end, hence getting the intercooler chiller, and the losing the wing helps, the worlds fastest WRX didnt have one when it went down the track when it broke the world record.

Turning scoop around does work AS A GAUGE POD WHILE YOU'RE ON THE DYNO; SINCE YOU'RE STATIONARY, because in order for the scoop to be REALLY functional, you have to be moving. Yeah your moving down the track, but it only gets cool at the middle of the track to the end, hence getting the intercooler chiller, AND SOME NITROMETHANE AND TAKING A SAWZALL AND CUTTING OFF ALL BODY PANELS and the losing the wing helps. The worlds fastest WRX didnt have one when it went down the track when it broke the world record BECAUSE IT WAS A WAGON AND WAGONS DON'T DO WELL WITH HEAVY WINGS.
...plus they look silly.
