Pics of Will Krup's aftermath of crash @ Terre Haute. I've never seen this airflow going to carb

Looks like a ram air type intake. I don't see a rule that says you HAVE to run a conventional filter.

You have to be very careful with carburetor hats and the like because it's VERY easy to screw up the bowl venting and send the fuel curve out to lunch.

Tuning even an EFI car with that type of intake isn't fun!

No and since a carburetor functions because of the pressure differential between the bowl and the booster something like this while it looks cool is most likely not the hot setup..

Looks like the roll cage took a pretty hard lick.

Not gonna happen...they aren't for sale. I will tell u that it made BIG horsepower difference on the dyno. Anytime u pull cool air from in front of the radiator it's a good thing. Just to let you know how off limits it is...Billy Moyer called wanting several of them and he was told they aren't for sale!

Wow, I'm glad Will is ok!
Purely speculating here, but it would not surprise me if Will's intake setup has more to do with downforce and less to do with getting extra air into the engine. "In theory" sucking air from under the nose could create a higher pressure differential which would translate into increased downforce on the nose. This is the same theory that Latemodel guys were using a while back to increase downforce on the nose by cutting out extra large left-front wheel-wells/fenders.
I am a little more curious about those carburetor bowls.

I I know who Will is, but it doesn't change that tuning a dual ram intake is a PITA!

You can get the dual plenum kits like this from jegs or summit they have had them for sale for quite sometime, then you just have to buy the mandrel bent intake tubing and filters.

race it, don't rice it!
Geez people street/drag/hotroddsers/mud trucks/road coarse guys have been doing this for many years. Its nothing new. I made my very own 20 years ago using plexiglass and dryer tubing and big funnel on a daily driver and picked up MPG and .2 or a second on the 1320.

It is not a ram air set up. The filters are conical and hang in front of the radiator to get cold air. I will agree that having a flat hood with nothing sticking up probably has better airflow. There were a lot of pictures of this at PRI.
