Velocity stacks v Ram Air intake

[RX MIDGET]

Thanks guys, much food for thought...

In short, yes it is in a MG Midget, I have a K&N "oval" filter with small stacks.
All, my thought was stacks through the bonnet (just), sucking straight through with a basic filter set-up.

VEX, you have turned a somewhat simple train of thought into something my simpleness struggles to comprehend... (lol). However I sorta knew the Ram Air option was not as "uncalculated" as I first thought. To be honest, I was thinking.... the more cold air supplied to the carb, the better it goes (basically speaking) right?

The car has a Toyota Tarago Diesel radiator that takes up 95% of the grill, so I ruled out the cold air intake idea. I guess I could do something with a smaller radiator perhaps or have the CAI inlet through the beaver panel.

If I went Cold Air Intake, is there a kit available for the 48IDA connection, or do I fab up something??? Has anyone got pics of a CAI connected to a 13b non turbo?

Is rejetting likely to be needed with CAI?

I have attached pics of the engine bay - excuse the untidiness.. car is ex race car 40 years old that in currently undergoing a ful tidy up.

Thanks guys....
