300/440/550 Best air intake setup for a Smooth x2 hood

[BlueBreadTruck]

Hey guys, i was wondering what you have used for air intake setups that worked well with a chopped hood.

I was thinking of running a hose (4") from the rear of the cowl area down the hood and have it dump up near the front of the engine....so water will stay away from my F/A....if you have pics, please post them

here is how I chopped the hood....i havent cut any holes in the cowl area

here's a few ideas

That's all yours is---an "idea."

You haven't had it in the water enough to know if it actually works.:cool2:

Didn't someone in Daytona say it wasn't letting enough air in??? :biggrin:

BTW---did you get your transmission in your Ford fixed? :dunno:

That was exactly what I was thinking....im gonna see what will work easier..

I really like the idea of the air intake above the seat. Im gonna try and find some tubing that will work like xxx2's...plus i wont have to fiberglass anymore..ugg


xxx2 have you used that setup? seems to me it would work great! What tubing did you use that holds shape?

It works. I *think* Pete used a similar set-up, but then changed it for some reason. Maybe he'll chime in here.

I helped xxx2 with his build, but I'm no expert. :biggthumpup:

It gets more than enough air! Pete said it worked great for nose stabs and fountains, and seemed to work fine for the little time I rode it. I haven't got to really try it out tho. tubing is engine rigging hose.

ps. royal. I was informed that my transmission is good but, now my computer is culprit.

That dude is a crook! Shouldn't he have been able to figure that out FIRST?!? :sneaky:

Hmmm...and I thought my idea was unique.:notworthy:

I beefed the hell out out of my hood (and hull) so my hood is sealed off completly, This seemed like a easier way than a hood intake.The end of it is up in the nose (Between tank and water box). It also has dual 500gph's and dual scupper's......Hopefully it will stay Dry! I don't have much seat time on it Thou:aargh4:

Gonna let me fly it if I make it to Daytona next year?
