I am building an RV4 with Sam James cowl and AFP vertical injector. I have Vans standard filter box. I am told that the cowl will need modification to clear the air filter box. The James intake tubes appear to preclude supplying air from the cooling intake. It would be nice to eliminate the snorkel and streamline the cowl. Does anyone have suggestion how to get filtered air to the engine without a modified filter / snorkel "patch" on the cowl ?? For a casual flyer, not performance oriented, does ram air make any difference ??
