Best one yet: tonight I picked up my pizza at Domino's, and a guy rummaging through a dumpster in the parking lot poked his head out and asked "is that a BMW"? ?
A couple months ago, I did order pickup from Target. Employee comes out to my car and says "is that a Supra?!." I'm like bro, yr a couple years late on that one, just give me my milk please. ?
That's interesting, that is pretty darn close to where I mounted my 777 vent.15.5 inches to the edge of the hood will align the gurney flap of the racelouver vent with the rear edge of the rad cover plate. most folks are mounting the triple seven vent 18.5 inches back, but Albert @ RL says 2 inches behind the rear plane of the radiator stack is ideal. since the rad plate extends back 3.5 inches, this seems like a nice compromise.
What about having vents on the exhaust side? Would it be better for heat dissipation or near the radiator is more important?15.5 inches to the edge of the hood will align the gurney flap of the racelouver vent with the rear edge of the rad cover plate. most folks are mounting the triple seven vent 18.5 inches back, but Albert @ RL says 2 inches behind the rear plane of the radiator stack is ideal. since the rad plate extends back 3.5 inches, this seems like a nice compromise.
this is the 30x9 version. there is also a 30x14 variant but albert says he doesn't really recommend that one much because it can make some hoods too floppy.
that's actually not a bad idea. i went with the center vent over the 3-piece because any asymmetry in my placement would drive me nuts (amirite @razorlab ?). But if i cut just ONE vent over the turbo, i don't need to worry about matching the other side. albert's data shows that more is pretty much always better in terms of reducing lift as well.
it was either your thread or @theQuaybee's that i got the 18.5 number from. but i suppose there's really NOT that much space to play with either way.
