A nascar style at the base of the windshield or the front of the car.. With
ample sized ducts lewading to a sealed airbox.. Clean cold air is your
friend, high pressure air with all sorts of directional comonets that change
with speed are not. You can always put a small rise in the hood to clear the
top of the carb without it being open.
