Hey Jacques,

Sounds like you got the your airflow sorted out, the only reason I asked is that I've done a fair amount of work in the HVAC industry and those guys are hyper vigilant about intake and exhaust efficiency and noise issues.

In general you want your intake opening no less than 2/3 the surface area of the heat exchanger at its tightest.

But I guess if you clobber it with `1200CFM your O.K. May be noisy but who cares on the track at ``60mph,

Sorry I'm not aware of anything to lock up the front breaks for Porsche's. Might be an interesting project for somebody to “hack” the ABS system to accomplish it.

Regards, PK

P.S. If your so inclined, I'm a designer and have done a bit of automotive work (Toyota and Lexus). If you wanted me to design a more “Boxster like” scoop that any Florida surfboard shaper cold make...I might be able to do it for a token couple of beers.
