I will never get around to doing this--spend too much
time just trying to keep the car running--but I have
thought it would be cool and "relatively easy" to put
in a NACA scoop through the hood.  Would solve the
traditional problem of intercooler placement, and
wouldn't be as obtrusive as one of those
above-the-hood jobs like people seem to drool over on
a '69 Camaro.  Plus, I believe it has significant
aerodynamic advantages, and I'll take all the
advantage I can get.
However, if you love irony as much as I do, grab the
scoop off the bottom of your nearest P-51 and strap
that bad boy on the Rabbit hood.
