Default Explain this induction system to me....





It is obviously not fuel injected. I like the duct tape
It is an air duct after all.

Fix it. You have to link to the picture.. not the page

Looks like a LOOOONNNGGG Fast toys Ram Air Same idea on a different intake setup. Picking up air from the fron valance and ducting it to the intake.

Carburated big block with crappy homemade cold air. Wonder if he expects that to stay on during a run. Maybe he NOX'ed (BOOM!) and had to make something quick.

I see what he did, he has both cowl indution and ram air like a fast toys system. You can see the metal ducting in the second pic down by the air dam. Looks like he's just go it over a 4 barrel carb though

Looks to me like a good way to get lots of air to the carb without using a big scoop on the hood.

Don't think it's cowl induction at all but it is like the FTRA. Just has to work a bit different for the carb.

I imagine is a was quick rig to get the job done.

I wish I could see the center section of the cowl, I bet he had to cut it to make it fit. have to be running a magnetic crank trigger ignition too.

Bad **** ride!

Its just a ftra type airbox for a carb, you can see where the carb stud is. I bet whatever class he is running in cant use a big forward facing scoop. That big block looks like a tight fit :/
