I looked into fans a while ago,and the tiny fans that would fit don't come close to pulling enough air,pushing is not a good idea,either. the only place where fans might help on this car is when it is in traffic,but how much horsepower do you need in traffic? I am still thinking that a scoop on the drivers side "sail" panel(opp side of the fuel filler door)--or a NACA duct ---run into the stock air duct along with the roof might be the answer. It could be replaced with another gas filler door(screwed shut)if desired should the need arise. If you wanted to remove the top,you would still get air into the IC from the top scoop on the clam and the new sail panel air inlet. All of this is just mental masturbation on my part until somebody gets temps and meaningful data. Where is Jim Hall (Chaparral) when we need him?

I've always liked the way those sail panel vents looked... but that mod is a bit over my head at this point...

I am planning on getting flows and temps from the inlets of the roof scoop and the side scoops. I'm also tempted to get another logging meter so I can do them simultaneously (so there's no chance that different conditions will affect a comparison). All I need to do is spend more time and money
