Ram Air Scoop In a mid-engine car, the engine sits behind the driver in a low pressure area formed by air rushing over the roof of the car. At low speeds, this presents no problem. However, this car has been designed for speeds in excess of 200 mph. We recognized the need to supply a pressurized source of air to feed the engine and keep it breathing well. We cut a depressed section into the roof that feeds directly into a polished aluminum airbox on top of the carburetor. We also added a scoop on top of the roof protruding directly into the airstream. This hood projects 2 inches above the roof, providing 20 square inches of mouth. As the car traverses through high speeds, the air is rammed into the scoop at high pressure, creating an ample supply of air for the high-performance engine to breath and produce power.
