Damian is going to take a crack at building ducting for my set up. I have the GRedddy 3row FMIC. I have the stock bumber but i do have a lip.

I'll be attempting the same sort of job soon with my setup ... but I'm keeping the A/C. I'll have a Pettit Coolcharge III SMIC and the Rotorsport Racing dual 30 row oil cooler setup, so the hope is with that and good ducting, I can still have a totally trackable 400hp setup AND working A/C. The monster openings on my Origin nose should help too

will the duct you're working on, only duct to the radiator or will it have the little side channel to pull air past the side of the radiator near the air intake like the one i think was picture in your splitter thread?

just curious.

We've also build some ducting like that for my car out of aluminum. But I'll be looking into purchasing some alumulite for increased ridgidity.

Big bump for the some info on the material used... Damian? Anyone?

I found this stuff that sounds like the same stuff, but the ones in this thread look beefier and black on *both* sides instead of one... www.mcmaster.com item# 2888K11
