[DeTomaso] functional airscoops.

[Rich]

I have the airscoops on my car.
I am reallly happy with them.  Not for the idea of compressed air at high 
speeds but for the cool air a lower speeds.
I have EFI and the car really did not like the hot air in Arizona coming 
from inside the engine area.
When I added the air scoops it really runs better all the time.
At high speeds I still have lots of horsepower I am not using.  At low 
speeds the cool air at idle and on acceleration really helps.
