It seems counter productive to me to be trying to get a boost from using ram air and then making it turn 180 degrees before entering the combustion chamber. Seems like more boost is available the straighter the ram air can travel. Would it be possible to mount your "scoop" on the side of the cowling or underneath and move it ahead so you could get some semblance of a straight shot through the filter then into intake plenum?
