     The side scoops that I am using are 1.5 inches at the widest point
     and are feeding four inch hoses into the sealed air box. My fuel
     injection system can flow about 1100 cfm at full throttle. I don't
     know how to do the calculations, but I am sure that the scoops will
     supply more air than the engine can use. My engine is 388 cubic
     inches and and produces full power at about 6300 rpm. The rev
     limiter is set at 6550 rpm and in first gear I need to up shift into
     second gear pretty quickly to keep from hitting the rev limiter. I
     have only had the car up to about 140 mph, but it has never run out
     of power and was still pulling hard at that speed. Public roads can
     limit how fast you can push a car and safety is always my concern.
     I just talked to the owner of the Inde Motorsports Ranch in Willcox
     Arizona today. If any members of the club want to come here, we can
     use the track to test this air box set up on my car. The straight is
     2200 feet long and I can usually get my Pantera up to 120 mph before
     having to brake for a sweeping right hand turn. The track use is
     free because I work there and it is certainly nice to be able to do
     this without having to worry about breaking any laws or endangering
     the public!
