It can be very tricky. Peyote has an advantage in the Knobbly Lister
type pop-up in the middle of the hood--there's likely a high pressure
area in front of it, but finding high pressure areas (not always where
you'd think they were), sizing the ducting, and getting everything to
fit can be very tough. I attempted to improve the ram air for my Radical
and made a real bodge of it. Five days of work, two test days, and the
stock setup worked better.
