"I don't know what the pressure area is where the hood meets the cowl in
front of the windshield, but if I leave my hood propped open about an inch I
don't see much difference at all in engine temperature. So it makes me wonder
how
much air is escaping."
You may want to try a hood on the lines of the "Super Tiger" hood that is in
the TBON. The scoop is reversed to pick up the high pressure air located by
the windshield. . When stopped, the opening would vent hot air out of the
engine compartment and while in motion it would have a ram-air affect for the
carb. I've seen these turn up on Ebay every once in a while. Someone may
have made a small run of this style hood back in the day.
What ever happened to the "Super Tiger"? Does it still exist with the
options Ian Garrard installed?
