[DeTomaso] Fuel injection stacks

[Christopher Kimball]

That sounds vaguely familiar...  I had some fans installed in my back deck once, but Mike Drew shamed me into removing them!  😃

My tongue in cheek answer is to put in a rear window. Which hopefully I 
will get done in the next week or so. I plan to install a fan blowing 
air up from below on the passenger side with a thermostat controlling. 
With the MSD FI setup I suspect that, even with no glass in the opening 
above the engine, the FI body still gets pretty toasty when parked and 
idling. Hopefully I will have some actual data in a month or so...
 
/To answer your question about fuel injection system inlet air 
temperatures, I have some data on that. I found that pulling air into 
the injection system from the bottom of the car is  about 40 degrees 
hotter than having air coming in from side window scoops and feeding it 
into a sealed air box. This test was done at 70 mph with ambient 
temperature at 80 degrees F.  I didn't bother to check the temperatures 
at idle, but I expect it would still be about a 40 degree difference. I 
am using a F.A.S.T XFI 2.0  port injected system with a single throttle 
body and the EZ dash monitor which does indicate inlet air temperature./
