Randy,
From what I understand the ram air increases the pressure in the plenum -
the pressure is even in the plenum and therefore the directional change
isn't a big deal and the bellmouths would negate that anyway.
However I could be wrong!

Jerry,
I know very little about this stuff, in fact all I know is what you
guys have taught me but . . . 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?
