Burce and all:
This is the reverse flow system I described! Invented by Jack Evans and
"used" by GM on their '92 and newer Corvette, and all LT1 engines. (He
has improved on it since then to use PG.) Jack solved the problems of
hot spots and the technology has withstood the test of time vis a vis
the Corvettes, Firebirds, etc. HP gain and MPG is proven. Also, BTW,
Greg Pickett is using the Evans system on the Trans-Am Chevies he runs.
