If you are referring to the intake, it breathes quite well. The custom shroud, which was built by Alan Shadwick in Auckland, New Zealand, "breathes" through the front two and rear two velocity stacks, the center four are blocked off for attachment to the carburetor. The shroud also contains a K&N filter in the base so we don't have to worry about debris. It also runs quite cool considering the tight confines of the engine compartment. The radiator is a three row aluminum unit built by Griffin Inc. in South Carolina. The electric fan is in the front of the radiator and is triggered by a thermostatic switch, it comes on when the engine reaches 185 degrees and shuts off at 175 degrees. The opening in the hood for the velocity stacks helps exit hot air from the engine compartment and there is a custom aluminum chute that seals the front of the radiator from turbulence and helps direct air through the radiator when the car is moving. I had the car out last week in 55-60 degree temperatures and the engine ran at 170 the whole time.
