<DIV>Steven,</DIV>
<DIV>Thanks for the reponse. I don't think I understand (Fabricate sealed ducts 
from the stock body intake to the carbs). Would you be willing to explain more 
in depth?</DIV>
<DIV>Thanks,</DIV>

  <DIV><BR></DIV>DavidG=&gt; I believe that my carbs are not getting enough air 
  at higher <BR>=&gt; rpms and maybe at low too. ... How do I get more air into 
  the <BR>=&gt; engine compartment correctly?<BR><BR>It's unlikely that air 
  volume is the problem -- the pistons pull the same displacement under any 
  conditions -- but you could easily have a problem with air temperature. If 
  you're pulling air only from the engine compartment, it's certainly hotter 
  than it should be, making the air less dense and reducing oxygen content. The 
  correct way is to draw all intake air from outside the car, as in the stock 
  arrangement. Fabricate sealed ducts from the stock body intake to the carbs.
