Next time you are at the track, take your infra-red and measure the tarmac temp. 
"I'm going to build a ram air system for my Cobra, but since I can't figure out any other way, I'll just pull in the hottest external air I can find and call it a day." 
I had an idea for you - what about putting an air to water heat exchanger in your lower air intake tract and cooling the charge much the way Ford cools their inter-coolers.
Please share what "out of the box" thinking you see in Johns car?

Ok I get it. Your ego was bruised and your feelings were hurt when I rightly called you out in regards to your rude behavior. I’m sorry that I hurt your feelings, so do you feel better now? I also get that your behavior has gone from rude to asinine, to trolling, and now your just being childish. You have engaged in name calling, making up a quote to support your ego, thread hijacking, and more. When are you going to grow up and give it up? Maybe now you can use your contributor status in an attempt to have me banned?
Although I repeatedly stated that I do not wish to engage in a debate I have to wonder, would it make you feel better? I tell you what, I’ll go ahead and engage if you will just stop being a complete ass. Do we have a deal? I’ll assume so.
Let’s start with Mr. Smith. While I have a great deal of respect for the man, his books are filled with inaccuracies and unsubstantiated assumptions. His books are great for the masses with little to no subject matter knowledge (you), but they are not the end all from the omnipotent one. While I do not know the man, I expect that he would get quite the laugh out of people who feel they are experts simply by having read his books. Having authored a technical text book myself, I can’t imagine anyone thinking themselves an expert after reading it (that was a soft pitch, go ahead and take a shot).
Let’s play with your most recent attack. I lied. I only told you that you were correct in regards to air temps in an effort appease your sensitive ego and avoid the debate. Hell, contradicting the race car bible authored by the omnipotent Mr. Smith is heresy on a level that might get someone banned from the entire internet. So let’s explore this one. Have you done, read, or participated in any scientific research on the subject? Have you done any testing of any kind in an effort to either substantiate or refute common beliefs on the subject? Do you think that I would spend over 500 hours developing a ram air system having not at least done some basic testing?
Would you like to debate the subject on a new thread, or do you prefer the continued hijack of this one. Your call.
This is the system.
