Found out a injector scoop made of .060 is not strong enough.Sucks middle in while running like a drunk draining a beer can. Oh well time to build another and maybe little strong design and not no lite.LMAO
THE FRENCHTOWN FLYER:
True story about homemade scoops: A fellow in the Detroit area (who shall remain nameless) who was a chassis builder and ran an A/Fuel dragster with injector stacks decided to cover all the injector stacks with a scoop containing T/F style butterflies. He made the scoop from .080" aluminum as I recall. At the track he rolled into the staging lanes, started it up, rapped the throttles once, and when the butterflies closed down the atmospheric pressure collapsed the scoop down onto the stacks like a crushed pop can.

And...If you run a 3 piece injector with a valley cover and a dry sump/vac pump, make sure the valley cover has a mid support snubber to minimize oil canning of the mid plate. The crankcase vacuum can suck the valley cover down. Get er done!
