Anyone - feel free to educate me!
Hi guye, sorry about late and mixed replies, theory behind GT40 scoop I would be using the cobra at HWY speeds and traffic so the more air through the radiator the better, and there is enough venting to tap into and fit ducting in and around shroud I don't think it would be an issue, Craig is working it out and I know his standards, some pics with the front vents, thx for you interest and comments.

Regards,
