L&L would be very interested to know who's car it is.
I suppose I should also show some pics of another customers drag car that is currently in the shop. It is a BMW with a 26B and Phil's new manifold in a 4-rotor version.
Cheers,
Hymee.

Hmmm. Yep, you're getting there. :D
I just came from under my hood, trying to eyeball this stuff in there. Yes, I think it will fit under the hood, snorkel (discharge box?) and all. Tight though, huh? Might have to cut-away some of that insulation under the hood?
That elbow on the TB would definitely be interfering with the firewall. A good landmark is that lifting lug in the back. Everything must stay in front of that. Even more forward, in places higher or more to either side of center.
A bunch of little do-dads are still not back on, like the oil filler for one thing. I can't tell what items will go right back on and what will need modification. This kit might require a few interesting items is all I'm trying to say.
Looks nice Hymee!

Fuel consumption is horrendous too.
Decode: 350psi is the pressure rise created by the 3 stage fan and 7 stage axial flow compressor in the GE F404 engine. Now that's an axial flow supercharger!

I'd actually be inclined to do an air/water setup this way. Put the water tank IN a fender out of sight.

Wildcard,
As soon as I saw your post, I knew RAP would love it!
RAP,
I know the answer to the question, but Wildcard should be the one to answer.
RG,
We are trying to use a very high efficiency and patented heat exchanger core in the intercooler. We intend to locate it between the snorkel and the intake runners / plenum like you suggest. The cores we have are a certain size, and the problem might be fitting it where we want. Then we need to have the other radiator mounted somewhere - like in front of the a/c condensor.
Cheers,
Hymee.
PS - Any more names for the snorkel?

Yep, I knew it would get RP's attention! Twin axial flow superchargers, with reheat!
RP - I drive them. So far they are the only twin exhausts I have managed to shoot flames out of, even though I have tried damn hard with my Hymee exhaust. Maybe putting a supercharger in front of my Hymee exhaust will allow me to do the same. If only it gave me the same increase in thrust....
Enough thread hijacking though. This conversation belongs in the "jet engine 101", oops, I mean "axial flow supercharger" thread.

Lucky bastard, they do have a model with a back seat. How about a ride??
If I did that for a living I couldn't consider driving anything less then an Enzo?
Even that would feel like a dog. Hell, they don't even come with a G-suit.
We can get your exhaust to shoot flames, put my supercharger (not Hymee's ) in front of your rotary and inject some kerosine into the exhaust for afterburning.

I'll have to give partial credit to timbo for this one. Snorkel = breathhardyabastard.
Or, flowthiswayyabastard (ftwyb - "fitwib" for short)

Well I'll admit that your all a lot of fun. :D
I can't attest to your marrage rate though.
Yes, that might make a good name but it is awfull technical compared to all the good bastard sugestions you've had.
