I really need to add cool/fresh air to my setup. The high compression combined with the tight space (barely enough room for the small block so it gets damn hot in there) causes a real problem when everything gets hot. I could probably cut down on potential detonation and get my numbers up if I could get cool air into the bilge. I like the setup on that Formula. It looks like something I could do fairly easily with mine.
In regard to cockpit venting.... Something that was mentioned though (I think I read it on another board or maybe here... can't remember) was whether adding vents in the cockpit area violated Coast Guard rules, etc. anyone have any insight on that part of the equation?
